As we age, men and women go through different phases which affect us and our training. Today we're talking about menopause, what it is exactly, how it affects our bodies, and how we can use sports and exercise to combat the effects. We also talk to two-time Olympian, Michelle Dillon, who explains her experience with menopause and how she has adapted her training to suit the change and Dr Bella Smith who explains the biology behind how and why the body changes 🥀
