Michelle Bridges opens up about her own health battle on Stellar podcast

Michelle Bridges has built an empire on fitness, starting out as a trainer on The Biggest Loser and later launching her own company, 12WBT. But five years ago, everything changed. She felt like a stranger in her own body and was suddenly self conscious about the way she looked, and her weight.

After being prescribed antidepressants by her GP, Michelle’s search for answers led her to a new chapter she knew nothing about - perimenopause.

In this candid interview, Michelle opens up about the hardest years of her life, navigating ageing in the fitness industry, being a single mum, what intimacy looks like in her 50s, and why she’s determined to change the conversation about menopause for good.
