This week on the podcast, Dr Louise is joined by Manisha Morgan whose own experience of menopause led her to train as a nutritionist.

Manisha offers support to women who are fed up with yoyo dieting to build a positive relationship with food, lose weight, and lead a healthy lifestyle. She helps women learn mindset techniques to help improve selfconfidence and implement habits that can lead to longterm success.

Manisha talks about the importance of acknowledging cultural attitudes and approaches to food, and how your genes don’t necessarily dictate your future health.

Finally, Manisha shares three achievable goals:

1. Manage your expectations, start small and then gradually build up. So for example, if you don't go for a walk, start going for a 20minute walk and then maybe gradually increase that over a period of time.

2. Start to include protein in every single meal that you're having, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're having three different meals, there are lots of different things that you can have.

3. If you have a “bad” day, don't let that throw you off. Just pick yourself up the next day and continue with whatever new habits you’re establishing.
