  • Discovering Balance and Well-Being Through Equine Therapy with Dina Shale

    Discovering Balance and Well-Being Through Equine Therapy with Dina Shale
    Mar 12 2025

    In this episode, Michelle welcomes Dina Shale to the podcast, a pioneer in equine facilitated learning, to discuss the transformative power of horses in managing menopause and perimenopause. Dina shares her personal journey through menopause, highlighting the emotional and physical challenges she faced and how her innovative retreats have helped women reconnect with nature and themselves. Dina also provides insights into grounding techniques, the importance of understanding the nervous system, and how to overcome fears associated with horses.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Horses serve as emotional regulators and can help individuals reconnect with their emotions, instincts, and sense of self, which is particularly beneficial for women navigating menopause.

    • Engaging with horses in a round pen setting allows participants to practice grounding techniques, helping them to stay present and manage their nervous system, which is crucial for emotional well-being during menopause.

    • Integrating equine therapy with other menopause management strategies, such as lifestyle changes and hormone therapy, can provide a comprehensive approach to managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.

    • The approach and retreat method is used to help individuals who may be fearful of horses, allowing them to gradually build confidence and comfort without overwhelming their nervous system.

    • Continuous learning and self-education are emphasised as essential tools for overcoming challenges during menopause, enabling individuals to make informed choices and improve their quality of life.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Horses are what we call emotional regulators. They listen to their instincts, their emotions, and they are their guiding light of how to survive."

    "When you start to connect with your feelings, your emotions, and feel it in the same way that horses do, then you have a tool that will serve you for the rest of your life."

    "The body keeps the score. It remembers everything that's happened from the past. If you listen to it, you can heal it and move on."

    "I think one thing I've definitely found during this journey is the common denominator is listen to our body, listen to ourselves, learn about ourselves."

    "Bringing that into the moment and actually being able to feel that emotion is essential because you can't heal or why you don't know anything about your body."

  • How Diet and Lifestyle Impact Menopause Symptoms with Dr. Sonnenberg

    How Diet and Lifestyle Impact Menopause Symptoms with Dr. Sonnenberg
    Mar 5 2025
    In this episode, Michelle speaks with Dr. Carys Sonnenberg, a trailblazer in menopause care, who shares her extensive knowledge and holistic approach to women's health during the menopause transition. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Sonnenberg discusses crucial topics such as the often-overlooked aspects of perimenopause, the evolution of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) since the Women's Health Initiative study, and the broader benefits of progesterone. She emphasises the importance of individualised care, addressing lifestyle factors, and the role of nutrition in managing menopause symptoms. KEY TAKEAWAYS Menopause care should encompass not just hormonal treatments but also lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and mental health. A comprehensive approach considers the whole woman, addressing physical, emotional, and lifestyle aspects. Each woman's experience with menopause is unique, and treatment should be tailored to individual needs. Factors such as medical history, family history, and lifestyle must be considered when discussing options like hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The perception of HRT has evolved since the Women's Health Initiative study. While there are risks associated with HRT, particularly concerning breast cancer, the benefits often outweigh the risks for many women under 65. It's crucial for women to have informed discussions with healthcare providers about their specific situations. Diet plays a significant role in managing menopause symptoms. Emphasizing a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and proteins, along with adequate hydration and exercise, can help improve overall health and alleviate symptoms. Mental health symptoms, such as anxiety and brain fog, are common during perimenopause and menopause. Understanding that these changes are part of the hormonal journey can empower women to seek appropriate support and treatment, rather than feeling isolated or confused about their experiences. BEST MOMENTS "I think we have a way in conventional medicine, but we need to collaborate more with other specialties, particularly lifestyle medicine." "It's really important to understand what the benefits and the risks and any potential side effects are to that woman, because we all come in with different types of bodies." "The Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 obviously caused a widespread panic about HRT because the results were leaked before they were properly reviewed." "It's a risk-benefit chat every year that you're taking it. It shouldn't be someone that is told there is never anything that we can do."

  • Navigating the Intersection of Cancer Treatment and Menopause with Julie Marks

    Navigating the Intersection of Cancer Treatment and Menopause with Julie Marks
    Feb 26 2025
    In today's episode, Michelle speaks with Julie Marks, a breast cancer survivor and founder of the support group 'Treasure Chests'. After her diagnosis in January 2021, Julie transformed her challenging experience into a powerful community resource, connecting with others facing similar battles. She shares her emotional journey, the importance of community support, and the intersection of cancer treatment and menopause. Julie also discusses her role as Office Manager at Norfolk Integrated Housing and Community Support Service, where she has implemented menopause training workshops for staff, advocating for awareness in the workplace. KEY TAKEAWAYS After her breast cancer diagnosis, Julie Marks created a support group called Treasure Chests, which has grown to nearly 70 members. This community provides a vital space for individuals to share experiences, gain confidence, and support one another through their cancer journeys. Julie experienced severe menopause symptoms, including intense hot flashes and brain fog, while undergoing cancer treatment. She emphasises the importance of being informed about potential side effects of hormone therapies and encourages open discussions about these challenges. As the Office Manager for Norfolk Integrated Housing and Community Support Service, Julie implemented menopause training workshops for her staff. This initiative aims to educate both female and male employees about menopause, fostering a supportive work environment. Julie highlights the significance of open communication regarding health challenges. By discussing symptoms and experiences with friends, family, and colleagues, individuals can reduce feelings of isolation and receive the support they need. Julie hopes to expand the reach of Treasure Chests and create additional support networks for caregivers and family members of cancer patients. She also advocates for lowering the breast cancer screening age, recognising the increasing number of younger individuals affected by the disease. BEST MOMENTS "Cancer, as we know, affects everybody regardless of age, background. So we've got nearly 70 members now. We have an online community. Yeah, it's been very rewarding." "It's not telling people you're going to go through this, but if you've got at least that, you know, it's like reading side effects on most medications." "The biggest buzz I get is from supporting other people and seeing those people come in that have lost their confidence, and seeing those people change over the weeks." "I think it's about learning to take ownership and control over yourself. And ultimately, it's your body, you make that decision." "Communication is the biggest, biggest way to help yourself because if those around you aren't aware, if you're trying to hide it, often you can come across as being moody."
