Myths, HRT and What The Evidence Really Says

In this essential episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, Jacqueline Rose is joined by leading gynecologist and menopause specialist Dr. Heather Currie, trustee and past chair of the British Menopause Society and founder of Menopause Matters.

They 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. Currie brings decades of clinical experience and research insight to this conversation, helping women cut through the noise and make informed, individualised decisions.

Community Spirit
A menopause event for women and one for men was held in Norfolk recently. Steve Hopkins attended the men's event and later reflected on what he wishes he had understood sooner. He chose to write a letter to his younger self, and perhaps to other men, about the insight that changed how he showed up in his marriage.

Why not read his letter in the digital version of Menopause Matters Magazine... and you'll find you can easily share it by email with others, perhaps including the men in your lives.
