So that's why I kind of say it's in remission rather than, you know, it's gone.

OK.

Now, then I had a bad year.

My mum died and I think probably I took my eye off the ball and I'm now on medication for my diabetes.

But I do take my health very seriously.

And I know because I got that diagnosis that I'm a healthier version of myself now than I would have been had I not.

Because I kind of had to.

Menopause, the worst thing for me was the fact that I had to give up alcohol and the migraines.

That was terrible.

That was really tragic.

But what pisses me off, and I'm not obviously a doctor, this is only going on my own experience, but I am a woman and I have had a menopause and I've talked to friends.

Two things really piss me off that we talk about in relation to menopause.

One is the brain fog thing.

Telling women, menopausal, postmenopausal, perimenopausal women, you get brain fog.

That's bullshit.

I live with a man who is actually a year younger than me.

His brain fog is exactly the same as mine.

And as I say on my show, we go out in groups, you know, in couples.

It's all around the same age.

We can have long, very interesting, very intelligent conversations about any kind of subject.
