Welcome to the eighty-sixth episode of the Womanthology podcast.
In this, our Women in Medicine and Health episode, Dr Marlize De Vivo, CEO and Co-founder of The Active Pregnancy Foundation, joins us to discuss her journey from qualifying as a biokineticist in South Africa to establishing The Active Pregnancy Foundation in the UK. She highlights her research into women’s physical activity during pregnancy and her work with the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, focusing on improving maternal health outcomes through physical activity, particularly for women with complications like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
