Taking on the Change: Let's talk Menopause!

Welcome to Series 3 of Taking on the Change: Let’s Talk Menopause!
Cannot believe how much has happened since the last series, from being shortlisted at the International Women’s Podcast Awards to hosting the Menopause Revolution at the Labour Conference, it’s been a whirlwind to say the least.
Alongside all of that gorgeousness I also had the chance to talk to so many fantastic people about their experiences and expertise with Menopause so this Series I bring you another full range of awesomeness to talk about wellbeing, weightloss, HRT, no HRT, mens thoughts, women’s thoughts and of course my own ridiculous ramblings on the subject. There’s tangents and tears and as usual, lots of laughs. So let’s go!

To kick off the Series I’m delighted to have shared an hour with Health and Beauty Journalist Alice Smellie who most recently co-wrote Cracking the Menopause with Mariella Frostrup. We talk research, google docs, the perception of midlife women and sex! Welcome Alice!
