"We want to give women the power and the agency to understand their health - wholly."In this episode of the Dear Menopause podcast, Roma van der Walt, founder of Vitelle, chats with Sonya Lovell about why it's important for women to understand and manage their metabolic health to improve their life span. Through science-backed tools and technology, women have the agency to improve their health and longevity and with her company Vitelle, Roma is making this possible. Roma is a sport scientist with a broadcast media background and a former Team Germany Modern Pentathlete. She has worked on improving maternal health outcomes for over a thousand women and reached thousands more published in various outlets while also consulting with for-profit and non-profit partners. Roma was fortunate to profit from research and diagnostics in sport and has since seen it develop from traditionally reserved for high performance towards being at our fingertips. In this episode, you will learn:1. Why metabolic health and health span are important for women to understand.2. How women can have the power and agency to understand their health - past and future - through the use of technology and diagnostics.3.
