Show Notes
In this episode of 'Moving Through Menopause,' I welcome Dr Mike Van Thielen to share his 7 steps to take control of your health at menopause and beyond.
Introducing Dr. Mike Van Thielen
Dr. Mike Van Thielen, PH.D. Holistic Nutrition, Physician, Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker and World Record Holder for Swimming has taught his clients optimal health practices for anti-ageing, regenerative medicine and sports performance for over three decades.
Where do I begin to take control of my health at Menopause?
With all the choices and ‘noise’ where do we begin to get the results we are looking for? Dr Mike reminded me that ‘how we think is how we feel’. Please don’t underestimate the importance of mindset; he invites us to create a purpose-driven plan to achieve our goals so we can thrive through Menopause and all life transitions.
Menopause could be a new beginning, so if you are seeking fulfilment in midlife, set yourself some achievable goals, make a plan and take small, actionable steps towards achieving your goals every day.
