Menopause & Movement with Denise Mokadsi

In this episode we delve into an essential conversation for women navigating the peri-menopause and menopause transition and joining us for this conversation is Denise McKenzie.

Denise is an ex-nurse and highly experienced Personalised Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Nutrition, Mindset, and Trauma-Informed Coach with over 25 years of expertise in the health and fitness industry.

She is passionate about helping women connect authentically with their bodies as they move through this transformative stage of life.

As we age, our bodies change, and so do our needs, particularly in maintaining muscle mass and bone health.

Just as our experiences with puberty & periods were unique, so is our experience of menopause. Denise will guide us through understanding how to protect our muscle mass, the critical role movement plays in preventing osteoporosis, and how building strength is about more than just eating protein.

We'll also explore how to find enjoyable activities, the importance of recovery, and how movement isn’t just about hitting the gym—it’s about staying functional, mobile, and balanced in everyday life. Denise is a firm believer that movement is youth, and today she’ll show us how staying active can help with longevity, brain function, and overall vitality.

Whether you're already experiencing menopause symptoms or simply preparing for the journey ahead, this episode offers practical advice and offers a way forward, so tune in as Denise shares how you can embrace this stage of life and thrive.

If you're keen to learn more, our upcoming free Secret to Thriving in Menopause without HRT Workshop will share more about how you can harness the power of your genes to thrive in menopause, what it requires in movement, food & lifestyle choices.
