The Women in Sport & Exercise Academic Network Podcast

Jane Dowling is a clinical exercise specialist and has over 20 years’ experience in the health and fitness arena. She is a public speaker and blogger, as well as running a successful fitness 1-2-1 personal training studio in London Bridge. Inspired by her own menopause experiences, she founded MENO&ME, which offers evidence-based exercise, diet and lifestyle advice to women on how to find their fabulous again through menopause and beyond! Jane has extensive experience in dealing with a variety of clients, including older adults suffering from heart disease and osteoporosis. This ignited a passion to help educate younger women on how to take preventative measures towards improving their overall health. You can follow Jane on Instagram for dally tips @menoandme. She also has a closed Facebook group, Meno and Me Ageless goddesses. Jane has just launched a free health initiative to help menopausal women become more active which will help with bone, heart and mental health. It is called Menopause Active and she is training women as volunteers to lead walks across the country to help other women.

In this podcast, I talk to Jane about this latest initiative, Menopause Active, the content of her exercise programmes for postmenopausal women and her thoughts on areas of research that are lacking in this particular population.
