She has also done a great TED talk in a school to encourage young people to exercise.

The Feel Good Fix by Lavina Mehta will be published on 30th May 2024 and is available for pre-order now (Penguin Life, £16.99)

Lavina has not always been into exercising. She was the arty kid at school and had a very successful career in the corporate world. But over recent years she has been doing a huge amount of work to encourage everyone to exercise – exercise snacking whenever they can: whilst cleaning your teeth, cooking, and on an aeroplane. Her work has also taken her into schools to talk about how exercising can help reduce mental health. Of course, we talked about the importance of exercising during the perimenopause and beyond.  And the importance of exercising outside, with friends. We can all do this – exercise snacking works and helps lead us to the Feel Good Fix.
