Unpause the Menopause Podcast

The average age of menopause might be younger than you think? There's an alarming reason why 1 in 10 menopausal women are leaving their jobs…meaning hundreds of UK organisations are losing incredible talent each year. It's not because women are simply seeking higher salaries (though that's a discussion for another time), greater challenges, or a change of environment and leadership…   It's because...

Do you know how important diet is in helping us thrive during perimenopause, menopause and beyond? Generally, staying healthy and well - from nutrition, to movement, to sleep, to supplements - is hard.

When menopause comes around, most of us least expect it - that's because it creeps up from what we feel is an early age. A problem is that many women aren't prepared for this new chapter and transition. Your doctor might tell you it's time for HRT and move you along with a prescription. So you can see why midlife women are chronically uneducated, undersupported and totally unheard in our so-called...
