Two Women Chatting Michelle Ford

In this episode of Two Women Chatting, Michelle and special guests James and Claire Davis, also known as the Midlife Mentors, explore the challenges and opportunities that come with fluctuating hormones in midlife, with particular reference to andropause and its impact on ageing men. Michelle questions why it is that previously easy going men become stubborn and sometimes downright irritable in midlife - more grumpy 'Victor Meldrew' (the fictional character from BBC's One Foot in the Grave) and less smooth and charming George Clooney!
Together they delve into the importance of embracing ageing positively and taking proactive steps to enhance physical and mental well-being, while understanding each other on a deeper level. Why do so many men experience a midlife crisis? Is there such a thing as the male menopause?
Key Insights:
🎙️ Embracing Ageing: James and Claire emphasise the importance of embracing ageing in a positive way and taking proactive steps to improve physical and mental well-being during midlife. 
🎙️ Understanding Andropause: They discuss andropause, the decline of testosterone in men, and its significant impact on physical and psychological health. Understanding this phase can help in managing its effects more effectively.
🎙️ Managing Andropause: The Midlife Mentors provide practical tips for managing andropause, including maintaining physical fitness, adopting a healthy diet, and cultivating a positive mindset. They highlight, "Address lifestyle factors before considering hormone treatment."
🎙️ Importance of Relationships: Open communication and connection are crucial in relationships during midlife. James and Claire stress the significance of maintaining strong relationships and the role they play in overall well-being.
"Embrace ageing in a positive way and get more from life."
