Good news for your weekend plans!

Science tells us that spending time with people we love isn’t just enjoyable. It’s good for our health, too. And as we navigate midlife, those moments of friendship, laughter and connection can feel more valuable than ever.

It’s just one of the reasons we’re so excited about Prevention’s World Menopause Day lunch, presented by @aestheticsrxskincare next Saturday, 17 October!

Think a gorgeous lunch, empowering conversations, a panel of leading women’s health experts sharing their insights, plenty of laughs and a room full of brilliant women (not to mention a goodie bag worth $550).

So why not make a day of it? Bring your bestie, your sister, your mum or someone who deserves an inspiring day out.

🎟️ Join us at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour on Saturday 17 October. Only a few days left to book and almost sold out.

Tickets at worldmenopauseday.com.au

If waking up at roughly the same time every night has become your most annoying new habit, you’re far from alone. These pre-dawn wake-ups become more common from midlife onwards, and perimenopause and menopause can play a part as hormonal changes make sleep lighter and more fragmented.

We asked sleep experts what’s really behind those middle-of-the-night wake-ups, when they’re worth mentioning to your doctor, and what can actually help you get back to sleep.

GOOD NUTRITION NEWS FOR THE HUMBLE AVOCADO!

New research suggests eating an avocado a day may help keep blood sugar in check, with researchers finding it lowered participants’ overall glycaemic load.

Exactly why isn’t completely clear, but avocado’s combination of fibre and healthy fats may help keep us fuller for longer, and less likely to reach for less nutritious, high-carb options.

As if we needed another reason to order the smashed avo.

Sometimes menopause does not look like a symptom. It looks like becoming someone you barely recognise in your own life.⁠
⁠
You are too hot to be touched. Too tired to cope. Too overwhelmed to respond the way you normally would. Then suddenly, work feels harder, your relationship feels strained and even the people you love most are getting the version of you that is just trying to survive the day.⁠
⁠
This World Menopause Day, Prevention Australia is shining a light on the ripple effect of menopause—how it can affect every part of a woman’s life, and why women deserve far more support than being told to just “get through it.”⁠
⁠
Watch this powerful video from Astellas Pharma and hear women speak openly about the struggles menopause can bring. You may recognise more of your own story in their words than you expect.⁠

Every year, Prevention’s World Menopause Day brings hundreds of women together to talk about menopause, but somehow, it always becomes about so much more.

It’s a day to ask the questions you’ve been wondering about. To hear from some of Australia’s leading women’s health experts. To learn something new, laugh a lot, eat a beautiful lunch and spend time in a room full of women who know exactly where you’re at.

No awkwardness. No judgement. No topic off limits. Just real conversations, brilliant advice and that wonderful feeling of realising you’re absolutely not alone.

Last year, we sold out. This year, we’re doing it all again at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, and we’d love you to join us.

Get your tickets at worldmenopauseday.com.au or hit the link in bio and save $10 on your ticket with code 201610 at checkout.

From hot flushes and sleepless nights to stress, fatigue and mood changes, menopause can bring a whole host of challenges. Could an ancient practice offer another way to find relief?

In this episode of Thriving in Menopause, we chat with Kim Gatenby, Director of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association, about the role acupuncture may play in supporting women through perimenopause and beyond.

Tune in for this fascinating conversation about an age-old approach to a very modern conversation, wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on You Tube.

Proudly supported by @hhyhappyhealthyyou

Pelvic floor weakness isn’t something women should simply have to put up with.

That’s one reason Emsella by @core.restore.co caught our attention in this year’s Prevention Health & Fitness Awards. A winner in our Sexual Health category, the non-invasive treatment uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions during a 28-minute session, all while you’re sitting down and fully clothed.

Designed to support pelvic floor strength, including concerns around bladder leakage and sexual wellbeing, it’s an effective option in a rapidly evolving area of women’s health, promising better sex, better bladder control, and less leaks, in just three weeks.

Intro session special offer: Experience Emsella and Emsculpt with a women’s health clinician for $149.

For more information contact @core.restore.co with five locations across Sydney.

Hold the long black, there’s a new way to start your morning! Enter ‘sonic caffeine’: music that wakes you up and makes you feel good.

The idea draws on cognitive science: music can influence the brain’s reward and emotion pathways, as well as the autonomic nervous system, and a growing number of streaming services are creating tracks designed to give your morning a lift.

Curious? Read more about sonic caffeine, plus the latest health, fitness, nutrition, wellness and beauty news in the new issue of Prevention Australia, or head to preventionaus.com.au.
