Menopause and Marginalised Communities
In this episode Dr Heather Currie MBE, founder of Menopause Matters & Ruth Devlin founder of Let’s Talk Menopause invited the wonderful Dr Nighat Arif to join them in conversation about minority communities, listen to understand why a more apt description is marginalised communities.
This was a fascinating insight into the challenges and barriers that many women within these communities face.
So much to chat about… how to build up trust… how to avoid culturally inappropriate conversations… what role do men play within these communities and showing respect for the differences within cultures.
Keep listening to the end to hear Nighat’s three key messages. An interesting start to a conversation which needs to be continued on a larger scale.

Supplements In The News
A recent Which? study, reported in The Guardian recently found that: "Many popular supplements that are aimed at women over 45 going through menopause or perimenopause lack meaningful quantities of key nutrients, yet cost 20 times more than standard multivitamins."
A Musical Guide to Perimenopause
In true Victoria Wood style this clever song from Annea Byrne was played on the BBC's Woman's Hour this week and may have raised a smile if you heard it.
As Annea herself said this is:
"A musical guide to perimenopause - A selection of symptoms from the frankly preposterous number of things associated with perimenopause and menopause. PS I’m writing a book that is very scientifically rigorous at the moment so I feel I ought to shout out preemptively to the pedants - yes I know symptoms vary hugely, they can have other causes, the evidence is stronger for some than others, yes yes yes. It’s meant to be funny! I just made them rhyme! Okay??!! Maybe I’ve ruined the joke by explaining it but hey ho! Solidarity to the perimenofolk!" » Listen here
