This Girl Can: Yvonne And Patrice
October marks World Menopause Month, and can have a huge impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. But, that doesn’t mean you are alone. Throughout this month, we will be sharing support, resources and information to open up the conversation. Below, we have shared a piece from Yvonne And Patrice at This Girl Can.
“Yvonne and Patrice started being more active for different reasons. Yvonne began experiencing the symptoms of menopause, and her doctor said that exercise might help relieve them. Patrice, on the other hand, discovered that her weight gain was partly due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and wanted to make a change while helping her health. So the two started being more active together, whether doing circuits in the home or going for a quick jog. Yvonne finds that she has more fun – and stays more motivated – with Patrice at her side. And Patrice felt she got so much out of being active that she made it her career. Like mother, like daughter.” – www.thisgirlcan.co.uk/meet-the-girls
