The choices we make today lay the foundation for our health as we age. In fact, our midlife health is one of the strongest predictors of our long-term well-being. It really matters. Lavina inspires us to take action now, with her contagious optimism and enthusiasm shining through. I absolutely loved our conversation.
Drawing on evidence-based research, Lavina shares that just 11 minutes of movement a day can significantly improve our health. Considering the average person in the UK spends 10 hours a day sitting, Lavina offers practical ways to reduce this sedentary behaviour and prevent the physical decline often associated with ageing.
In this episode, we cover:
How maintaining serotonin and dopamine levels supports mental health as we age.
The critical role of movement during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
Staying motivated and building a personalized movement toolkit.
Reframing how we think about exercise.
Strategies to preserve energy and maintain independence long-term.
Managing brain fog and optimising brain function as we age.
Practical tips and resources for living a healthier, happier life.
This conversation goes far beyond movement. Lavina brings a holistic perspective on how to protect and enhance both our physical and mental health for years to come.
