Women's health – particularly as we age – has been underfunded and overlooked for far too long. And frankly, it's time we pushed back. Through this podcast, I want to share the knowledge and tools that can help you thrive in later life by taking action today. Because here's what I've learned: decline isn't inevitable. And when we understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age better. Hosted on Acast.

Health journalist Meghan Rabbitt talks to Liz about why medicine has been getting women's health wrong for decades and how to protect ourselves. They discuss how the differences in the female body require a more nuanced approach to healthcare, and how heart attack symptoms in women can be more subtle. Meghan also explains how menopause can increase our risk of heart disease, dementia and autoimmune conditions – and the practical steps we can take to safeguard our health at every age. &nbsp; In this episode: ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why healthcare isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The link between low oestrogen and Alzheimer’s ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why HRT might protect you from heart disease ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Calculating your breast cancer risk ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ways to future-proof your health &nbsp; Links mentioned in the episode: ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NHS shared decision-making ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Calculating your breast cancer risk &nbsp; ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lily Earle chronic pain coaching More from Meghan: ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Follow Meghan on Instagram ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The New Rules of Women’s Health Get in touch with a question for Liz: ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.com ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WhatsApp: 07518 471 846 &nbsp; More from Liz: • Order Liz's new book – &nbsp; How to Age • A Better Second Half • Follow Liz on Instagram • Follow Liz Earle Wellbeing on Instagram &nbsp; Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost…","meta_description":"Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, but symptoms are often missed because diagnostic tools were designed for men.
