Menopause, it’s always been around, as long as they’re been women on this earth and they’ve lived long enough, there’s been the menopause. Yet we still have an outdated mindset and too little awareness, education and support.

Today, we’re in a different time - we’re living for longer, working for longer, and too many of us are struggling through this life transition. We all experience menopause differently but you are not alone.

This podcast brings you up-to-date, expert information and top tips to help empower you to make informed decisions that are right for you: how you experience menopause, manage symptoms and long-term health. It’s time for change.
