Exercise and menopause with Dr Linda Dear

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Linda Dear, a menopause specialist who works in Tauranga, New Zealand

Linda is the founder of Menodoc; a specialist menopause clinic that also provides education, support, and resources to women who are wanting to know more about perimenopause and menopause.

She has an impressive list of qualifications - as well as being a General Practitioner (GP)  with a postgraduate qualification in women’s health, she is a qualified menopause specialist; has a degree in psychology; a qualified personal trainer and yoga instructor; and even competed in the Commonwealth games in rhythmic gymnastics!

Linda brings a wonderful blend of knowledge, humour, and practical tips to this podcast; as we talk about everything exercise and menopause-related. 

We discuss why exercise is so vital for well-being in perimenopause and beyond; what types of exercise women should be focusing on; and tips to counteract common menopausal symptoms (in particular weight gain!). 

Whether you’re just entering perimenopause and wondering what to do; or are through the other side and wanting tips to stay well, you’ll love our chat with Linda!
