Ready to Feel Amazing?

Listen in & learn...

Why the Women’s Health Initiative Study set women’s health care back in 2002, and why we don’t need to be afraid of hormone replacement therapy as a treatment for the most common symptoms of hormone decline.
Why your family doctor might not have the answers you’re looking for, and may feel as frustrated about that too, and what you can do about it.
How women can take well-being into their own hands with a “self-contract” to live fully and stay healthy through midlife and beyond.
Why we need to be advocating to have provincial governments cover the cost of hormone replacement therapy given the preventative aspect of this kind of treatment.
Why generalizations don’t work when discussing treatment options for women’s health and why it’s important to consider each individual separately.
Why living with the discomforts caused by hormone decline is not something women need to accept - it is absolutely possible to feel vibrant & energetic as we age.
How ventures capitalized on the desperation of women seeking relief in the wake of the deeply flawed propaganda that followed the Women’s Health Initiative study, making it difficult for factual information to compete.
Why we need to become our own “fact checkers” when we read any information about menopause due to the proliferation of misinformation.

We ALL have a role to play in un-doing biases standing in the way of women’s health.

Are you ready to reframe the conversation about inclusivity?

Listen in and learn...

How the culture and vibe in gym settings have felt exclusionary and off-putting for many people, making access to fitness inequitable for people who live in larger bodies
How Big Fit Girl aims to change fitness culture through educating kinesiology students, wellness professionals, and personal trainers.
How weight & anti-fat bias is a social justice issue that creates inequities in health, and what Louise is doing to change this through education and inclusive programming.
How to tell when brands are genuine in their size inclusivity or if they’re doing it on a surface level to tick boxes in their marketing strategy, and how we can use our spending power to promote brands that have inclusivity as part of their DNA
Why the fitness industry is resistant to size inclusivity and what it means to shift away from diet culture and weight loss as the primary conversation we’re having when we talk about fitness
Why Louise feels hopeful when engaging with younger generations–whether it’s within the fitness industry, or in every other conversation that matters to women’s health and quality of life
