Hello, I'm Dr. Louise Newsome and welcome to my podcast. I'm a GP and menopause specialist and I run the Newsome Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre here in Stratford-Bron-Avon. I'm also the founder of the Menopause charity and the Menopause support app called Balance.

On the podcast, I will be joined each week by an exciting guest to help provide evidence-based

information and advice about both the perimenopause and the

menopause. So today on the podcast, I am very, very excited. I'm often excited, but I'm really

excited today because I have someone with me who I would bet all of you have heard of,

but probably don't know, just know from the screen and the amazing work he's done,

but I've got the pleasure of having him in my podcast studio. So Joe Wicks, the body coach,

the most amazing person with the most incredible values and a really incredible father of three lovely children.

So welcome, Joe, to my podcast.

Thank you so much.

What a lovely introduction that was.

And I actually, I love talking to you because I learned so much for me.

It's like being at school.

I learned so much about different things, which really helped me in what I'm doing trying to

help people move.

So thanks for your time.

And I look forward to learning more from you. Ah, well, do you know what? I love it because you reached out to me and

I love it when people reach out to me who I don't expect and I have this sort of crazy wish list in my

head of things that I want to do or people that I want to meet before I die and I never share it

until it's happened. So actually in lockdown when

I was trying to do those lovely exercises with my children in my front room looking at you doing it

effortlessly and me who's so used to yoga rather than all the sort of high intensity self thinking
