In our fourth and final episode as part of our June focus on menopause we’re chatting with nurse and business owner Anna Slater about what menopause actually is and the truth behind HRT. Anna has been studying and training over the past eighteen months so that her business is now a registered clinic able to diagnose and treat things like menopause. Her experience and expertise working as a palliative care nurse for ten years, and seeing hundreds of women in her own practice suffer because of their symptoms, has propelled her to want to shift women’s understanding about menopause to know that they don’t need to battle on thinking there’s no other way. We discuss the challenges many women face from a physical and psychological perspective, and how many women fear they’ll never feel good about themselves again. We dive into why women need to be informed about changes and advancements in HRT and know what options they have to build strong health. I hope you enjoy this special episode an takeaway inspiration and knowledge to better support yourself or someone you love as they navigate this huge season in their life. In this episode we discuss: What exactly perimenopause and menopause is. The myths around what happens to women during this season of their life.
