For Louise, walking isn’t just a hobby; it’s a way of life. With her beloved cocker spaniels by her side, she loves nothing more than exploring the fells and dales of the North West and finding new hiking routes.  

But three years ago, something changed that affected her love and freedom of walking.

1 in 3 people suffer with incontinence, often in silence.

Louise isn’t alone: urinary incontinence affects 1 in 3 people - particularly women - causing an involuntary loss of bladder control. Whilst common, leaks are rarely talked about - and because of the taboo around bladder weakness many people suffer in silence, limiting their lives and activities they love as a result.  

For someone who thrives by being outdoors, Louise found the need to plan her activities around the nearest loo frustrating. Her favourite routes suddenly felt impossible unless she was able to pee discretely - fine if she was on her own, quite another if walking in a group. Determined not to give up on her passion, she started searching for solutions. 

In April 2022, Louise discovered Jude’s Bladder Health Supplements after reading positive reviews and intrigued by the natural benefits it offered. Hoping that they could help, she gave the supplements a try.  

Jude’s bladder health supplement is a powerful blend of pumpkin seeds and soy germ extract. These science-backed supplements are designed to help your bladder feel best. Jude’s Bladder Health Supplements have currently helped over 85,000 women reclaim their confidence, and the feedback speaks for itself - 95% said they want to continue taking Jude after 12 weeks and 93% feel the difference.

“I noticed a significant difference within three months thanks to Jude Bladder Care,” Louise recalled. “Since taking Jude, I feel more confident and empowered to spend time doing things I enjoy. I can confidently say they’ve transformed my life.” 

The supplements weren’t the only support Louise found. She joined the Jude and Friends Facebook group, Jude’s warm and welcoming community where members share advice, support, and encouragement. “The group has been invaluable. It’s not just about the capsules; it’s about learning to manage bladder health in a supportive environment,” she said. 

Soon, Louise was able to return to the long walks she loves, and Pendle Hill - with its beautiful scenery and challenging hikes - became her training ground for conquering the Lake District’s Wainwrights. 

The circular route from Barley village offers a mix of steep climbs and rewarding views, making it a favourite for hikers of all abilities. Louise encourages anyone visiting the area to give it a try. “It’s a tough but satisfying walk, and the views are stunning,” she said. 

“Now I’m not constantly stopping for breaks, I’m enjoying long walks again,” says Louise. “It’s such a relief to focus on the scenery with my dogs rather than spend my walks embarrassed and interrupted. Hiking is such an important part of my life, and I’m so thankful to Jude’s Food Supplements for helping me get back out there.”
