Former BBC Breakfast host Louise Minchin has provided a fresh update on her wellbeing, following what she previously branded an “excruciating” ordeal. The 56-year-old has become a champion for menopause awareness, highlighting the crucial need for frank discussions and solidarity amongst women facing comparable struggles.

The presenter made it clear how emotionally draining it was for her during her menopause, especially when she broadcast live on television, in 2022. Hello! She recalls having an “embarrassing conversation” with her superior at work because she was “too hot and sweaty.”

She stated to the publication in her recollections that she wasn’t being a diva. It was agonizing. After a three-year break from presenting duties before joining BBC Rip Off Britain last year, Louise left the program in 2021.

She hasn’t stopped exercising, which includes running, cycling, and swimming.

Louise gives an update on her health in an exclusive interview with Reach PLC. She claims to now feel “great” thanks to her exercise regimen.

She continued, “It has helped me in many ways, but when I was having really bad menopausal issues, I had both physical and what I would call psychological issues.” I also experienced terrible hot sweats that kept me awake, which made it seem like I was sleeping really badly.

I’m not a very anxious person, but I was feeling much more anxious than Louise, who I know, and I found that exercise was really good for both my physical health and my bones and the rest of it.

“But again, it just gave me that peaceful and peaceful moment that quenched those irrational thoughts.”

Louise revealed that she forced herself to go outside in order to avoid the menopause, which made her want to stay inside.

She explained that exercise has really helped her through a lot of difficult times in her life, especially those when I was funding menopause and experiencing really difficult symptoms.

Louise continued, “I’m great, I’m 57 on Monday and it’s really interesting, I’ve been on a big journey with exercise really, and what I’ve learned is that I’m really proud of what my body cam do, not necessarily what it looks like, but rather accept that it’s good.

I’ve learned a lot from my experience, which is that as you get older, you should be proud of what your body has done and what it can do rather than how it looks.

This weekend sees Louise team up with her former BBC Breakfast colleague Dan Walker for the Tour De 4 challenge.

Following his own diagnosis, Sir Chris Hoy’s steadfast determination to change attitudes regarding stage 4 cancer led to the creation of the brand-new cycling business. It’s absolutely amazing, according to Louise, and it’s to raise money and raise awareness for those who have stage four cancer.

“I know Chris quite well, I’ve known him for a while, and I’m confident that the day will be both very inspiring and emotional, exciting and exhausting.”

“I know he’s really excited for the day, and he’s been absolutely on it, advertising it, and talking about it,” he said.
