Ep. 11: Loretta Dignam on the menopause

From hot flushes and vaginal dryness to anxiety and a distinct lack of joie de vivre, the menopause can bring about all sorts of struggles for women from as early as their late 30s. In this episode of Bits of Me, I talk to divorced mother of two, Loretta Dignam, who is the Founder and CEO of The Menopause Hub in Dublin, Ireland's first and only clinic dedicated to helping women who are going through the menopause. Loretta shares her experience of 'the change', explains why she decided to set up a clinic to help other women, discusses the myths and attitudes surrounding this key stage in women's lives, and explains the various symptoms and treatments.  You can follow The Menopause Hub on Instagram at @menopausehub or visit their website, www.themenopausehub.ie, where you'll find loads of useful information as well as symptom checkers, fact sheets and more. Bits of Me is on Instagram too, as @bitsofme_podcast, and on Twitter as @bitsofme_pod. If you like the podcast, please rate and review it on iTunes and subscribe on your choice of podcast platform.
