The Menopause Disruptor Podcast

Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.

My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. The menopausal transition is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized.

Reflecting on my own encounters with the lack gap in female hormonal health and leaning in on my experience in science communication and public relations practitioner, I decided the time is now to rewrite the script and bring truth and reliable resources to the forefront.

In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post. Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging.

It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.
Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!

Mind Over Muscle: Overcoming Physical Limitations in Midlife with Kim Rahir

February 22, 2024 • Mary Lee, Menopause Doula • Season 1 • Episode 19

In this episode Kim Rahir shares her inspirational journey from battling Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to becoming a health coach for middle aged women, with a focus on reactivating and rebuilding muscle. She is also a competition weightlifter and, at the age of 60, became the European Champion in Masters Weightlifting in her age and weight category.

Our conversation centres around empowerment through advocacy for one’s health, through resistance training, through mindful eating, and with a deep appreciation for one’s ability to overcome obstacles.

Kim emphasizes the importance of embracing strength training, proper nutrition, and mindset transformation for midlife women. Kim also underscores the concept of 'feeling stronger' rather than 'looking a certain way'. In this episode you will also hear her client success stories, as well as her own and what significant transformative event led her to drop the medication and pick up the barbell.

In this episode we talk about the effectiveness of Time Restricted Eating a very effective way to allow the digestive system to rest and to control weight. There is plenty of great information on TRE. Check out my blog for more.
