Is your head spinning on the topic of menopause? Thank goodness we have incredible women like the members of the Menopause Mandate who are helping to distil all the information in one place - educating, campaigning, raising awareness and fighting for the rights of menopausal women.Join us as we chat to Carolyn Harris MP, health journalist Alice Smellie and CEO of Intuitive Events Laura Biggs who, along with Mariella Fostrup, set up the Menopause Mandate earlier this year. They've already been heard in the Houses of Parliament and their strength (and members are growing).In Part 2 we continue the conversation with Alice and Laura - and also chat to Lisa Snowden and Lavina Mehta MBE who are using their platforms to be authentic and transparent about their perimenopause and menopause journeys - lifting the veil on symptoms, giving advice on exercise, nutrition and self-care - and breaking the taboo in the British Asian culture.HRT isn't for everyone and it's definitely not a one size fits all. There are natural remedies that can help as well. Some women sail through this chapter of their life - and others don't. We hope we can help you feel that there is choice out there, things that you can do to make your 'second spring' better and to celebrate the chapter you're in (and it wouldn't be a bad idea to get your partners to listen to these podcasts either!).Join hosts Liz and Michelle redefining life over 50 as empty nesters, embracing the highs and lows of midlife with celebrity guests and experts, sharing a laugh on their podcast sofa. We talk about real concerns, issues, and fun topics that affect us, our friends, and our family. Midlife is not just about the menopause (although we’d be the first to admit it’s right up there!) but it is a time of adventure, change and reset - with plenty of opportunities and challenges along the way. Whether we’re chatting about ‘boomerang kids,’ diet failures (and occasional successes!), pro-ageing, travel, changing relationships, or inspiration for new jobs or activities, there’s always room for one more on our sofa.
