Redefining Ageing: Embrace Your Journey with Geeta Sidhu-Robb
Episode Overview
Ageing is about gaining experience, not just getting older. Listen to your body and adjust your lifestyle accordingly. Holistic health approaches can aid in overcoming health challenges. Self-advocacy is crucial when dealing with dismissive medical advice. Amino acids play a significant role in maintaining muscle mass.
"Your body's always trying to protect you and save you and heal, and it hears your thoughts."
Ageing is not just about getting older; it's about gaining experience, says Geeta Sidhu-Robb in this episode of 'Activate Yourself'. With her characteristic humour and insight, Geeta tackles the societal pressures women face as they age, particularly the obsession with appearance. She shares anecdotes from her own life, including her mother's amusing take on mortality, to illustrate her point that ageing should be embraced rather than feared.
Geeta is joined by Kimberly, a woman who turned her health challenges into a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. After struggling with severe illness and unhelpful medical advice, Kimberly took matters into her own hands. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of listening to one's body. She discusses the importance of holistic health approaches, such as adjusting exercise routines and dietary habits, to support well-being during perimenopause and beyond.
The conversation also highlights the often-dismissive attitudes of some medical professionals towards women's health issues, with Geeta and Kimberly advocating for self-advocacy and informed decision-making. Their discussion on the role of amino acids in maintaining muscle mass and overall health is particularly enlightening. By sharing personal stories and practical advice, Geeta and Kimberly inspire women to cherish their bodies and embrace the changes that come with age.
This episode is a refreshing reminder that ageing can be a positive journey if approached with grace and self-compassion. So, are you ready to redefine your perspective on ageing?
