Café Conversations on Health & Fitness - Shaping Your Future – Making Lasting Change. Each week we take a closer look at some of the most frequently asked health and fitness questions. Sessions include discussion and practical follow-up exercises. These are based on research that supports healthy, sustainable change. Week 1 — 23rd September 2025 - How Our Hormones Influence Our Health I have spent many years researching the influence of oestrogen on women’s health during menopause. This also included looking at testosterone and progesterone, and how males are affected too. This session summarises what happens as we age, the impact on our physical and mental health, and most importantly, what we can do to help. Week 2 — 30th September 2025 - Strength at Home: Building and Maintaining Progress Muscle is vital as we age, but gyms are not always accessible or welcoming.
