At Aviiana, we believe that knowledge is power - especially when it comes to women’s health. In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Dr. Connie Henson, Senior Research Fellow at UNSW’s Co-Design Health Research & Innovation Centre (CHRI), to explore the vital link between menopause, metabolic health, and Type 2 diabetes. With deep expertise in psychology, health systems, and community research, Dr. Henson sheds light on why women in midlife deserve better support, how prevention starts with understanding our own data, and what can be done to make healthcare more inclusive, equitable, and effective for every woman.
I’m slowly discovering a new version of myself - stronger, more confident, and more at peace with aging. If I make it to competitions next year, I’ll be absolutely absolutely ecstatic as it’ll be my first-ever sporty achievement.
Here’s to finding strength in unexpected places and embracing the journey.
