The 40s Woman
Are you feeling shattered with moods swinging all over the place and finding that your old lifestyle isn’t working so well for you anymore, either mentally or physically? This is a true sign of a changing body and it can be a surprise to find out it’s not just when we’re “little old ladies” that things change. If you want to find out more about what is going on and what we can do why not check out the blogs below and I’d love you to join my private Facebook group “The 40s Woman” where we discuss all things topical to our changing bodies – from perimenopause to nutritious recipes. There are monthly newsletters (see below to subscribe) and why not take a look at the webinars and programmes on offer (see “Programme and Events”). Do get in touch if you have any questions enquiries@annablackpt.co.uk.
If you’d like to learn more about some of the changes happening, understand your options from HRT to strength training, and find what works for you, carry on reading. I’m passionate about sharing the most up to date information but do get in touch if you have any questions and sign up for the monthly newsletters.
