100 Episodes in the Sexy Ageing Podcast! And how fitting that I get to speak with Niki Bezzant, Author of “This Changes Everything: the honest guide to menopause and perimenopause” and “The Everything Guide: Hormones, Health and Happiness in menopause, midlife and beyond” for the 100th episode and the final one for 2024.  Niki and I have had quite similar perimenopause experiences, but as we know, it's different for every woman. We also wanted to review the state of menopause the past few years and ultimately highlight that research, care and support IS getting better and yet there is still so much that needs to be done. This is a JUICY episode and we discuss: Our Hormone Therapy (HT) experiences and the symptoms that sent us to the doctor for help. What worked and what didn't. Body shape changes and how we feel about it. The lifelong challenge women have with body image and how menopause can help or hinder. Niki's overview from the recent International Menopause Society Conference - how menopause is complicated - the data and research gaps - what the world knows and doesn't know about menopause - new and promising interventions - when to start HT - and the importance of exercise during menopause. Medical social media influencers and how they help, or not! “Menowashing” pros and cons and do the supplements work? Diets - what are the best and worst during menopause. Healthy aging and gendered ageism and what this actually means for women. It's a LOT! Niki and I could have spoken for hours and I'm so grateful that we do make the time to catch up to share what we have learnt and help other women.  You can find Niki HERE SEXY AGEING RESOURCES FOR MENOPAUSE SUPPORT Sexy Ageing Fitness and Lifestyle APP: https://getstarted.sexyageing.com/ Sexy Ageing WEBSITE To contact me to discuss a workshop for your business, please email tracy@sexyageing.com or review the WORKSHOPS Landing Page  Book: My Menopause Memoir Download your FREE Menopause Symptom Tracker HERE   BENABLE ONLINE SHOPPING: Use this invite code to set up your own account for free "SA7YX"  CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALS Instagram  TikTok  The Sexy Ageing Facebook Community

It's been a while since I've had a conversation with another woman in her menopause life stage. About 10 months ago, Tarryn accidentally went viral on TikTok with a clip about her perimenopause journey—because apparently, the universe thought she hadn't had enough surprises for one lifetime. Fuelled by a desire to make sure other women didn't face the same blindsiding, she kept the conversation going, mixing in her own life stories, quirks, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour. Tarryn's unfiltered honesty and willingness to show off her imperfections have turned her into the relatable, ‘so-not-Instagram' character that women didn't know they were missing. After all, who wants perfect when you can have real?

PMDD - Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, can affect up to 20% of the female population yet very little is known about it. Many of us can attest to PMS symptoms throughout our monthly cycles and 1 in 5 women may be experiencing hormonally driven symptoms that can seriously impact their quality of life. I spoke with Dr Ceri Cashell, MBCHB MRCP MRCGP FRACGP, GP Principal (Avalon Family Medical Practice) in Australia about PMDD. The questions I asked her: 1. What is PMDD and how is it diagnosed? 2. When it comes to menopause, how does PMDD affect women? 3. What are your top recommendations to support women who might be struggling with PMDD and in menopause?  I hope this episode helps someone looking for answers.

Kirstin Bouse is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with nearly 3 decades of experience.  Over the past 15 or so years, she's found herself working with women as they navigate big transitions in their lives - motherhood, divorce and perimenopause.  Six years into her own perimenopause experience, along with a late-diagnosis of ADHD (after all 3 sons were diagnosed as teenagers and young adults - yep, she was late to the party for them too) and burnout, Kirstin became super frustrated by the lack of recognition of the significance of perimenopause and midlife in general. Let alone the double whammy of perimenopause and ADHD. In this episode, we discuss: - what exactly is ADHD? - the differences in ADHD between the sexes - the process of getting a diagnosis for ADHD - why is it that women in perimenopause might start to question if they have ADHD? - what support can one expect once they have an ADHD diganosis YOU CAN CONNECT WITH KIRSTEN HERE ALL ABOUT HER CLINIC --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tracy-minnoch/message

Dr Premitha Damodaran is an icon in Malaysia. As a leading OB/GYN in Malaysia, she has also led the conversation and support for menopause for the last 20 years. Her mission is to normalise menopause and take away the taboo and the stigma attached to it; allowing women to empower themselves in their menopausal years. Dr Premitha delivered my son 11 years ago when I lived in Malaysia. When I went into perimenopause, I didn't know Dr Premitha was the doctor I should have spoken to and then I repatriated to New Zealand - me and my symptoms and a dream of a podcast! During COVID, Dr Premitha wrote “The Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Menopause in Malaysia”. In this episode, we discuss: - her purpose-driven mission to support women in Malaysia and beyond. - her holistic view of life in menopause and beyond and the beautiful way she “coaches" women. - menopause is a multi-cultural society and the main symptoms …. and it's not what you might think! - from miscarriage to menopause and WHY it might be challenging for women in their 40's to have babies. - the rise in infertility, breast cancer and fibroids.

“It's insulting how a supplement brand can pop out ONE product to fix ALL your symptoms - we aren't about that” Kirsty Strowger  From beauty to colon hydrotherapy to one of Australia's leading women's health supplements companies, Kirsty Strowger is the OG hustler, business maven, and health trend spotter.  With long-held passions for inner health and natural healing, Kirsty Strowger started Nature's Help 2012 as a weight loss supplement manufacturer with over 400 Australian stockists. In 2014 she added to her e-commerce success with the creation of Turmeric Australia, which after a short time was and still is the biggest and most respected online Turmeric range of nutraceuticals in Australia. In 2020 Kirsty started to work on an idea to get women more engaged with each other around the topic of menopause. The biggest complaint most women had was there wasn't a dedicated trusted high-quality natural range to go to help alleviate symptoms women were experiencing during this time. Kirsty then set about doing what she does best. She designed something amazing for the women who created the world's population.

Author Jennifer Chesak is a medical journalist and fact-checker who knows what it's like to live with chronic illness and get medically gaslighted. “I am the type of girl who does her research—like a lot of it,” she says. “I've researched psilocybin at length, specifically how psilocybin affects and may help women or people assigned female at birth, whether therapeutically, spiritually, or recreationally. You'll find a synthesis of that research—along with personal stories, including my own—in this book.” No other book on psilocybin investigates the intersection of magic mushrooms with women's health, and Chesak's intent is to guide you through the growing body of research regarding psilocybin's potential and provide you the safety details and considerations should you choose to use magic mushrooms. This informative guidebook is packed full with everything you need to know about psilocybin (A.K.A. magic mushrooms), including its history, potential medicinal and recreational benefits, the latest evidence-based research, how to microdose and trip sit, and more. With The Psilocybin Handbook for Women, and in this interview, you'll also get the answers to some of your most pressing questions, like: Does psilocybin affect women differently? Does it matter where I am in my cycle when I use psilocybin? Can psilocybin help with menstrual migraines, endometriosis, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder? Will psilocybin boost my sex life? Do hormones have an impact on the entourage effect? You can connect with Jennifer WEBSITE INSTAGRAM BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!!

Body dysmorphia, a distressing psychological condition, manifests as a distorted perception of one's appearance. This internal struggle becomes even more prevalent among midlife women, who face unique challenges in a society obsessed with youth and beauty standards. The pressures of ageing, hormonal changes, societal expectations, and the influence of social media intensify the impact of body dysmorphia during this transformative stage of life. I was so excited to interview Penny Ashton - a New Zealand based, self-employed performer, poet, podcaster, writer and wedding celebrant to discuss our unique experiences with body dysmorphia and how we have come to the wonderful conclusion that we have NO F***S LEFT TO GIVE. We discuss (in no particular order) porn, Jane Austen, impostor syndrome, diets, Jenny Craig, liposuction, bodybuilding, THAT Gwyneth Paltrow interview, selfie angles, clothing sizes and slut shaming.

Sanjith and I connected over LinkedIn and the topic "menopause". My curiosity was piqued. I'm used to seeing fellow GenX women building resources and advocating for better menopause care at work and home, so to speak with Sanjith who has invested in menopause care, was brilliant. Sanjith is obviously passionate about helping the 150 million women in India in menopause, but he's not planning on stopping there! By 2025, there will be 1 billion women globally in the menopause life stage and there is much work to be done to support them. I'm voting for Sanjith as "Male Menopause Advocate of the Year", joint award with my ever supportive husband, Dave Nuku.

Warning: there is a discussion that touches on sexual abuse that may be triggering Rebecca E Chandler is an author and survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Her book “It Won't Hurt None – A Story of Courage, Healing, and a Return to Wholeness” details her journey from the depths of trauma to a place of hope and healing, offering a roadmap for others who are struggling with similar issues. In the book, she shares how she struggled with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and was often misdiagnosed by medical professionals. However, through years of therapy and self-reflection, Rebecca was able to heal and reclaim her voice and her power. In addition to her memoir, Rebecca has also written a companion journal called “Hurt No More – Grow a Foundation for Healing”. The journal offers a step-by-step guide to help others process their own trauma and find their own path to healing.

Emilie Joyal is a French Canadian living in New Zealand. Faced with a diagnosis for endometriosis and pre-cancerous cells on her ovaries, Emilie was advised to have a hysterectomy at 40. Emilie shares her experience and advice for women considering having a hysterectomy and we discuss, at length, the effects on woman's hormones and the inevitable acceleration into menopause. Emilie's experience was confusing and traumatic, as it often is for women when they don't have the full information they need to go through surgery, recover well and feel supported as they enter forced menopause. Emilie is the Founder of Surgical Menopause New Zealand and has set up a Facebook Community for other woman seeking evidence-based content and support.

As I come closer to 24 months of podcast episodes for Sexy Ageing, it feels like my list of questions are getting longer! one of the BIG questions is "How are women in other countries, cultures and belief systems managing their menopause?" A very general question that has a lot to unpack! In this episode, I'm starting with South Asian women and I interviewed Dr Shashi Prasad, an Indian Hindu rational living and working in the UK. Dr Shashi is a very experienced GP, British Menopause Society accredited Advanced Menopause Specialist and Board- Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician. She has worked in the NHS and privately for many years providing a high standard of care to her patients. During her work as a GP, she noted a huge unmet need for good quality menopause care. This motivated her to start her journey as a menopause specialist and complete her training from King's College Hospital, one of the leading menopause centres in the UK. In this episode, we discuss: * Dr Shashi's motivation to train as a menopause specialist * The differences for women in ethnic minorities accessing information, having conversation and support from their doctors. * Dr Shashi's personal experience with menopause and the incidence of South Asian women seeking her help. * The higher risk of metabolic syndrome and diabetes in South Asian women and how menopause symptoms affect midlife health. * The complete lack of resources in Hindi language - is there a menopause symptom tracker for other languages? * The main menopause symptoms of South Asian women. I'm looking forward to speaking with more women on the topic of Race, Culture and Menopause for a more inclusive conversation.

Becks McCulloch is 46 and had perimenopause symptoms for 7 years before knowing what they were. She just suffered.

In recognition of Pride Month, I was honoured to interview my favourite same sex couple - my sister Tia Minnoch and her partner, Jenny Grant. The menopause journey is a challenge in a relationship where you are trying to explain to your partner what you are experiencing, let alone TWO women going through it together. I'm so grateful that Tia and Jenny were happy to chat with me on the podcast to represent the rainbow community in menopause.

The "period" talk in my teen years wasn't exactly positive. It was a bit taboo and I remember feeling awkward and embarrassed. Ironically, in my 50's, I am now having conversations where there is a level of awkwardness discussing perimenopause!! BUT, this is not the case with my teenage daughter, Jazz Maia (17) who freely speaks about periods with her friends and our family and knows A LOT about perimenopause. I hope you enjoy the candid and unedited podcast episode - Let's Talk! (No harm was done to animals or children in the making of this episode LOL - Jazz was a willing and happy participant - lucky me!)
