The impact of cold water swimming on menopause symptoms - with Professor Joyce Harper
Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost. I came across some research recently about the impact of open water swimming on menopause symptoms, and was delighted when the study author Professor Joyce Harper accepted my invitation to join me on the podcast to discuss it. Having had an overwhelmingly positive response to a previous episode on menopause with Catherine O’Keeffe I know this is a topic that many of you are interested in so I was excited to get into the topic again.

She has worked in the fields of fertility, genetics, reproductive health and women’s health for over 30 years, is author of the book ‘Your Fertile Years’ and host of the ‘Why didn’t anyone tell me this?’ podcast.
