Experiencing first-hand the benefits exercise had on her own cancer recovery, she wanted to create an accessible place where women could feel safe and empowered exercising following their diagnosis. She aims to provide clear and specialist advice for those in need, offering a positive place to share experiences, and regain body confidence and strength.
Earlier this year, Sarah launched the UK’s first online fitness app run by specialist cancer trainers, for women to rebuild their strength and fitness after treatment. Membership includes access to live classes, on-demand video workouts and recovery programmes, physiotherapy clinics and supporting nutritional and lifestyle advice, all relating to cancer recovery and menopause.

She believes all women, including those treated for breast cancer, deserve access to high-quality, evidence-based menopause care and treatment and that every woman should be empowered to seek help and support, including those who may previously have been told they could never have HRT. Her approach is holistic and empathetic, and she is committed to individualised care for every woman.

Dr Claire & Caroline talk to Dr Sarah Glynne about the link between link between Covid-19 and female hormones.

She has been developing an interest in the menopause since 2018 and is on the Advisory Board, as well as the Editorial Board, of the Newson Health Menopause Society.

Dr Glynne is also interested in the management of menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors. She is co-chair of a newly established breast cancer working group that is currently developing a consensus statement to raise awareness about the risks and benefits of HRT for women with a history of breast cancer. The consensus statement will hopefully be available in early 2022. More information can be found here:
