Why we are in it

Not everything is just getting older

This year's theme is chronic pain in midlife. The thread through the whole month is knowing when something should go to a doctor rather than be put down to age.

Our part is the nutrition side. What women actually need at this stage, and where the gaps usually are. 5 October.
