Louise Minchin Shares Health Boost, Prepares for Tour De 4 Cancer Ride This Weekend

She credits regular training with restoring her wellbeing after severe menopause symptoms.

Overview

  • In a Reach PLC interview, the former BBC Breakfast presenter said she now feels great and attributes the change to consistent exercise.
  • Minchin described past menopause effects including poor sleep, intense hot sweats and unusual anxiety, which she says exercise helped to ease.
  • Her routine spans swimming, cycling and running, which she calls a source of calm as well as physical health benefits.
  • She is set to take part in the Tour De 4 cycling challenge alongside former co-host Dan Walker to raise money and awareness for people living with stage 4 prostate cancer.
  • The event grew from Sir Chris Hoy's 2023 stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis and his push to change perceptions of advanced cancer; Minchin returned to TV on Rip Off Britain after leaving BBC Breakfast in 2021.
