Menopause & The Medical System, Unexpected Symptoms and Yoga Therapy

Welcome to episode 84 of The Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy and Meditation podcast.

In this episode, Brandt sits down with Fiona Janiloos, C-IAYT therapist and Breathing Deeply graduate to talk about yoga therapy and menopause.

Menopause will affect all women at some stage in their life and so this subject is very important! There isn’t a massive amount of research going into menopause in traditional medicine and so it is really exciting to see the field of yoga therapy and menopause expand and start to help more women.

In this interview, Brandt and Fiona discuss how the medical system and research lets women down, some unexpected side effects of menopause
