Midlife Pain-Gut Connection: What Menopause Changes and What We Can Do About It on 28 October from 1.00pm to 2.00pm
Session information
Dr Chioma James will explore the links between menopause, gut health and chronic pain, with practical wellbeing advice.
Many people find that aches, pains and gut symptoms become more noticeable or harder to live with in midlife, especially around the menopause, but these issues are rarely talked about together.
This workshop brings them into the same conversation. This evidence-based session which will look at how menopause, sleep loss and everyday stress can affect pain and digestion, and how simple changes to food, movement and rest can ease some of that load. The session will also talk about how culture, ethnicity, income, working pattern and family roles change the way people experience menopause, pain and gut symptoms, and how these factors can make it easier or harder to ask for help.
Please join the session here
We look forward to seeing you at the events.
