Jo is thrilled to be in the company of another remarkable woman, one who has reshaped her own midlife. Professor Cassandra Szoeke, a trailblazer in the field of women's health and ageing, is our guest. She shares unique insights from her extensive research, particularly from the Women's Healthy Aging Project, the longest-running study of its kind in Australia. Tune in to this episode to delve into:
The importance of studying women's health over decades to understand the development of chronic diseases, the necessity of including women-specific factors in medical assessments, and the significance of physical activity
Discover the significant gaps in medical research and health systems when it comes to women’s health, and more importantly, the actionable steps we can take to promote healthy aging.
How each day can make a difference, how we can make up for lost time, and how we can increase quality of life.
Midlife health checks and how symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, management, and prevention differ for women and men.
Focus on the reproductive years and studies that stop once women become post-menopausal.
Undoubtedly, Professor Szoeke’s research and developments will change midlife not just now, but for future generations. I hope you got as much out of this episode as I did.
