In this essential episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by leading gynecologist and menopause expert Dr. Heather Currie, trustee and past chair of the British Menopause Society and founder of Menopause Matters. Together, we explore the history of menopause care — from the widespread use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in the 1980s and 1990s, to the dramatic decline following the Women's Health Initiative study, and now the modern resurgence of menopause awareness. We discuss the real risks and benefits of HRT, the dangers of oversimplified messaging, the variability in women's menopausal experiences, why menopause treatment should never be a blanket approach and the importance of lifestyle factors alongside medical treatment. Dr. Heather brings decades of clinical experience and research insight to this conversation, helping women cut through the noise and make informed, individualised decisions. 🌿🎙️ If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast—it helps more women and practitioners find these conversations. ✨ Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-currie-mbe-21465325/ ✨ Connect with Jacqueline Rose 📌 Join my Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/1225699/160641692811134066/share 💜Learn more about my Menopause Informed Training Program: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/mitprogram Follow Me: 🖥️ Website: https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/ ▶️ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealth 🌐 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/ 🏷️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120 🔔 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/
