We asked @rubyhammer to tell us her Beauty Story, the five products and treatments that she swears by in midlife. Find out what made the list via the link in Stories. #menopause #menopausesupport #skincare #skincareroutine #midlife #midlifewomen #hair #haircare #supplementsthatwork

There’s a lot of faff and non-evidenced-based claims around foods and supplements that may (or may not) help with menopausal symptoms. But a new study, published by @menopause_society, has found that a diet rich in soy really can cut moderate-to-severe hot flushes by 84%. That’s a big deal! We already know the importance of good nutrition in the menopause years - and if you need inspiration, @emma.bardwell will have you upping the veg in no time - this is now scientific proof that more soy in your diet will help your hot flushes. The women who participated in the study are categorical in their verdict. "This was basically a lifesaver for me," says one. "I've got my quality of life back." "I am sleeping better,” said another participant, “and my hot flashes diminished tremendously." Several participants also noticed significant weight loss and better digestion. We’ve added a link to the full report in Stories.

Ok, she’s not quite at midlife yet but 35-year H

Ok, she’s not quite at midlife yet but 35-year Helen Glover is set to become the first British rower to compete at the Olympics after having children. Already a two-time Gold medallist, and one of the most decorated athletes in @teamGB, this will be @helenglovergb’s third Olympics (after London and Rio). She says she hopes to "represent other parents and people who didn't believe what was possible". Helen has three children with husband, TV’s @backshall.steve. His reaction when she told him she was going to train for her third Games? “Helen, most people take up crocheting as a lockdown project, they don't decide to try to go to the Olympics. This is a little full-on even for you!" Full-on is what Bold Women do, Steve! Helen, we’ll be watching tonight’s @bbc documentary Helen Glover: The Mother of all Comebacks (10.35pm BBC1) and cheering for you when @tokyo2020 begins on Friday. Thank you for reminding this bunch of midlifers that anything is possible. If you can have three kids and get back into Olympic shape, the rest of us can set our alarms just that little bit earlier and do some exercise for the day ahead. Crocheting can wait. #Tokyo2020 #olympics #boldwoman #womensupportingwomen #inspirational #fitness #fitnessmotivation #rolemodel #rolemodels #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #womensfitness

As you enter your menopause years, chances are you

As you enter your menopause years, chances are your skin has changed but your foundation probably hasn’t. What you need is coverage from a base that is hydrating, long lasting and has some skincare ingredients thrown in. These new foundations have got you #linkinbio #menopause #menopausesupport #makeup #midlife #midlifewomen #foundation

How many trips to the loo did you have last night?

How many trips to the loo did you have last night? Any leakages when you sneeze? Trampolines - yes or no? (It’s a big no from us.) In case you haven’t guessed, we’re talking about urinary issues. “Urinary incontinence is common among middle-aged women, with 30-40 per cent of them experiencing it,” says Emma James, a physiotherapist who specialises in women’s pelvic health issues. It ranges from the inconvenient (those 1am, 3am and 5am loo trips) to the debilitating (uncontrolled bladder leakage). “Just because it’s common, doesn’t mean women have to put up with it,” says Emma. “There are things that you can do.” (More via the #linkinbio.) This is one of the topics we’ll be covering on Thurs at 6pm (UK time) in our monthly IG Live Menopause & Midlife Health Clinic with @drstephaniegoodwin. From leakage to HRT, we’ve got your back (and your bladder and pelvic floor!). Do tune in tomorrow. #wednesdaywisdom #HRT #menopause #perimenopause #midlife #midlifewomen #womenshealth #womenswellbeing #menopausesupport #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #menopauserelief #menopausefitness #menopausematters #womensupportingwomen

Huge congratulations to @gabbylogan, not just for

Huge congratulations to @gabbylogan, not just for her sterling TV duties during the Euros, but for hitting the one million download mark for her Midpoint podcast. “It’s been an absolute joy to chat to some fascinating, funny and wise people about this time they call ‘midlife’,” says Gabby, of her interviews with the likes of @mariella_frostrup, @davinamccall and our beloved @janegarvey23 and Fi Glover (AKA Fi and Jane of Fortunately, two women we need to make be friends with us). So how does Gabby herself deal with the ups and downs of midlife? With a pair of magic yoga leggings and a calming sleep spray, to name but two of items in her Midlife Survival Kit. You’ll find her full list of swear-bys via the #linkinbio. Here’s to the next one million downloads, Gabby. PS Please can we have Fi & Jane’s number…? #midlfe #midlifewomen #womensupportingwomen #

As Branson, Bezos and Musk squabble over whose roc

As Branson, Bezos and Musk squabble over whose rocket is bigger and who can fly higher into space, it was a midlife woman in charge of the space cabin on yesterday’s historic Virgin Galactic commercial space flight. Astronaut 002 on the #Unity22 flight was Beth Moses, the Chief Astronaut Instructor at Virgin Galactic, space cabin lead on yesterday’s flight and the very definition of a Bold Woman. “If we could lock all world leaders into our space craft and get them to hold hands and look at the earth, the world would be a better place,” says Beth of the life-changing enormity of seeing the earth from space. Great idea - and with a midlife woman at the helm, even better. Beth, thank you for reminding the rest of us that midlife has no limits. We are in awe of you. #womensupportingwomen #boldwoman #virgingalactic
