#26 | Menopause: Everything Everywhere All at Once

Push Pull Health

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

Episode Quotes:

“If you're not doing anything already in terms of exercise, nutrition is a little bit skewed, quite sedentary, it's easy to say 'Oh, it's my hormones'.”

“Life begins at 40, but getting to 50 can feel like a death sentence if you're not proactive with your health.”

"You start hearing all these scary things—weight gain, chronic fatigue, hot flushes, night sweats—and if you’ve not found a form of exercise you can stomach by then, you’re probably not going to start.”

'I'm going through the change,' because people are ashamed to say menopause. And it's just like—it's natural. It's a way of life.

"Just shut up, just be a rock. Just enjoy it.”

Ben and Fiona tackle the chaos, confusion, and clichés around menopause—cutting through the fluff and wellness bullshit to explain what’s going on in your body, and why “waiting it out” is not a plan.

• The four stages: premenopause, perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause—and why no one tells you what any of them mean until you’re in the thick of it
• The common symptoms no one takes seriously: night sweats, weight gain, joint pain, insomnia, brain fog, sudden rage.
• Why strength training, higher protein, and some basic structure aren’t “nice-to-haves”—they’re your ticket to not losing your mind or your independence.
• The truth about HRT: when it helps, what it won’t fix, and why your GP might still be stuck in 1998
• The shame around even saying the word menopause—and why calling it “the change” helps no one
• Plus, how the film Everything Everywhere All at Once weirdly sums up what it feels like to be perimenopausal, overstimulated, and still expected to be functional

You’re not broken. You’ve just been fed the wrong advice—or none at all.
And if you haven’t built the habits yet? You’re probably not going to start amid a hot flush.

With a temper as short as her legs, Fiona joins Ben each week to forcefully 'Push Your Health From The Pulls Of Life.'
