In this episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I sit down with Fiona Clark, a women's health physiotherapist, menopause movement specialist, and author of MenoWars. Together, we explore the realities of how menopause impacts the body—not just hormonally, but physically and functionally—and why the current healthcare system often leaves women without the answers and support they need. Fiona shares her mission to challenge the gaps in women's healthcare, where menopause is still too often misunderstood, dismissed, or oversimplified. Through her work and her book MenoWars, she brings clarity, compassion, and empowerment to women navigating this stage of life. In this episode we explore: · 🌸 How menopause changes the body's relationship with movement, energy, and recovery. · 🌸 Why pelvic floor health matters for every woman—and how it connects to confidence, vitality, and long-term health. · 🌸 The myths around exercise in midlife, and why "pushing harder" isn't always the answer. · 🌸 The role of movement as medicine—supporting mood, bone health, cardiovascular function, and nervous system regulation. · 🌸 The challenges of the conventional medical system—why women are often offered quick fixes rather than true understanding, and how we can change the conversation. · 🌸 Fiona's vision for empowering women to understand and honor their bodies, rather than seeing them as "failing" in midlife. This is a conversation that reframes movement as a source of empowerment, not pressure—while also shining a light on the urgent need for better menopause education and support in healthcare. 🎙️ If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: Get Fiona Clark's book MenoWars → https://www.amazon.co.uk/Menowars-menopauses-horribly-navigate-through/dp/1399827340/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zuqwgmCNQabAgwT3F9lfNtYd9gNKVxMxru_Tqttipamv7ExqOVBnkSFx7hs96XmxNi2kOH0nWbBTNyd5274bYP6wiQXqTFTchvKla6_trorj9QwKOPil00Y1CAU4wh_9mTbZGY8LUIhVut63gmSjvVavkMTpsyaRf6jm5IUSCEbBc3_Ii0i1F8uKn6lvebukWwL2vKxHFvIyu-HgJ-ODJSR4W--kUUYJ1m8CxxqJvIU.PMF_xGKYLdo63MUdfUJssAPdVWIT7hSjBUM1K3dMkUk&dib_tag=se&qid=1758895963&refinements=p_27%3AFiona+Clark&s=books&sr=1-3 Follow Fiona Clark: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fiona_clark_writes/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@fiona_clark_writes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-clark-8826929/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FionaClarkWrites/ Genius link: https://my.geniuslink.com/links/summary/?code=DjR3E· Connect with Jacqueline Rose: 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 📌 Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ 🛜 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ 🔅 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120/ 🗨️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/
