Navigating Nutrition and Menopause with Emma Bardwell: I chat to Emma Bardwell, registered nutritionist and author of The 30g Plan.
We discuss the role of nutrition in women's health, particularly during menopause. Emma shares her personal experience with perimenopause and explains common symptoms that lead women to seek nutritional advice.
We discuss the importance of protein and fibre in diet, the impact of social media on health perceptions, and debunk myths around superfoods and supplements.
Emma emphasises practical approaches to nutrition and mentions her book 'The 30g Plan,' and we reflect on how GPs and nutritionists can better collaborate for patient care.
