There are 3 major periods of transformation in the life of a female, Menarchy (the beginning of Menstruation), the Perinatal (or potential child-bearing) Period and then the Peri to Post Menopause epoch. But in the world of ‘Women’s Health and Wellness’, attention to GIRLS HEALTH isn’t often or naturally included in general discourse but for sure, we really do need to start paying attention to the health of our girls, because what’s happening in a modern girlhood WILL MATTERS TO THEIR LIFETIME HEALTH OUTCOMES. And I think we can all agree that when speaking to the health issues of adult Women, going back upstream to their childhood, tween and adolescent health is more than likely to uncover contributing factors to their current health issues ! Indeed what happens in-vitro, before the child enters the world has been shown to impact later health outcomes. For example, when women experiencing menopause symptoms that negatively impact the quality of their lives are stuhigh childhood ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores for girls have all been shown to have an impact in later health outcomes even as far away as the Menopause Transition.
So, with the above in mind, I gathered a few of my ‘best in class’ colleagues, Beth Rees Jones, Nicole Jardim and Samala Bygraves to share their ‘zones of genius’ regarding the health and wellbeing of girls. We journey from the nuts and bolts of Menstruation to the magic of Menarche and how we can move away from shame and towards celebration. We speak to the importance of maintaining a love for movement and support for the female cyclical body in sports/fitness and we talk about what life is REALLY like for modern girls and how supporting their emotional and mental wellbeing NOW has become mission critical to create a solid foundation for their tomorrows. In this certification, we’ve truly created a thought-space and melting pot for left and right brain thinking on this subject, because we feel that that’s what’s required to truly present a ‘wholistic’ vision that actually will support the lives of the women of the future
