Podcasts about hot flushes

What do you know about perimenopause? I would guess not very much. And that's because we never speak about it – and that's not just in the Pacific. It's worldwide. But Sistas, Let's Talk is going to break it down for you and find out everything you need to know about the changes our bodies can go through in the lead up to menopause…. As well as why it's so important to know about them.

In today's episode of The Pelvic Floor Connection, I'm joined by the deeply insightful Natalie Nuttall; wellbeing coach, writer, and co-founder of Smile Group, a perinatal mental health charity based in Cheshire.Together, we dive into how our personal and professional experiences, helped guide us to the knowledge that midlife and menopause can become an invitation to come home to yourself—not something to endure or "bounce back". It can be a powerful opportunity for reconnection, reflection, and renewal.Key Themes:         

In this Healthed lecture, Dr Terri Foran will cover some of the evidence-based non-hormonal and non-pharmacological options for the treatment of the most common troublesome menopausal symptoms - namely vasomotor and vulvovaginal symptoms. In addition, she will also be discussing some of the commonly used alternative therapies that have no evidence of benefit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A hot flush can cause huge distress, especially if it catches you in a professional or social situation, where you might already be feeling a bit vulnerable.In this episode, I'll be diving deep into the science and solutions behind hot flushes and night sweats – those classic menopause symptoms that can leave you flustered, exhausted and very miserable.I'll be unpacking what's really going on in your body during a flush, how your internal thermostat gets hijacked by falling oestrogen levels, and why stress, sugar and sleep (or lack of it) can make everything worse.You'll learn how simple shifts in your diet, lifestyle and mindset – including the surprising power of CBT – can help you take back control. From balancing your blood sugar and boosting your fibre to harnessing herbs and hydration, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you feel calmer, cooler, and more in charge of your body.Whether you're mid-flush, lying awake with night sweats, or just want to be prepared, this one's for you. If you love The Happy Menopause, why not share it with your friends and family?

Almost every woman will face the experience of menopause and the impacts of declining oestrogen levels in midlife. This 'reset' brings profound biological consequences affecting muscle strength, brain function, mental health, sleep, sex drive, heart health, body composition, and more. In this episode with menopause expert Dr. Amy Edler, we delve into the lived experiences of women navigating this transition, discuss options like hormone replacement therapy, and highlight the importance of support from others. This episode provides essential insights not only for women but also for men seeking to understand and support the significant women in their lives.Resources:Jean Hailes: https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/ (search "menopause" or "healthy ageing")Australasian Menopause Society: https://www.menopause.org.au/health-info (the peak body of Australia and NZ by health professionals with a special interest in midlife WH topics.

The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia. What are the risks posed by cardiovascular disease when you’re considering menopausal management? What do you consider high risk cardiovascular disease? For example, if a woman has a strong family history of heart disease but a zero-calcium score. Does the use of menopausal hormone therapy reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death? Can you diagnose menopause in a woman with amenorrhea, or very irregular periods by doing a progesterone challenge test. Any tips on how to diagnose? Is a persistent high temperature, greater than 39 degrees a vasomotor symptom, because they're suggesting that thermoregulation might be affected? Are you aware of any evidence on cannabidiol oil in treating menopausal symptoms? Can androgen deficiency cause hot flashes, fatigue or their mood? Could you provide more information on where patients can find evidence supporting the use of cognitive behavioural therapy for managing vasomotor symptoms? Additionally, it would be helpful to know if there are online services available that patients can access for this treatment How can you best treat brain fog? Is it reasonable to use different pharmacological agents that target specific symptoms, such as urinary urgency or hot flashes, before considering hormonal treatments? Is this an appropriate approach to managing symptoms? What indicators would there be for treating a woman with Vulvovaginal syndrome of menopause with something like Intrarosa dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) instead of Avastin or Estradiol tablets? Would you recommend or suggest starting local oestrogen creams for a patient above 60-years-old for atrophic, vaginitis or dryness? Is there any upper limit? How long can you safely use these vaginal preparations? Can you cut hormone patches when you're weaning someone off menopausal hormone therapy or when the patient just can't obtain the right dose. Is it okay to cut the patches (i.e in half, or thirds)? Why should paroxetine be avoided for the treatment of hot flushes in tamoxifen users and is there anything else we should be avoiding in these patients? Are there any effective treatments for a woman who presents between late 60-70 years old for management of hot flushes that have come back after settling and, should we be using menopause hormone therapy or starting them on non-hormonal therapy? Patient case: I've got a patient classed as BI-RADS D who's currently on menopausal hormone therapy. How should we monitor her? Patient Case: I have a few patients who are starting ashwagandha based on information from social media and blogs. Are there any research studies on its effectiveness? What exactly is ashwagandha, and is it beneficial for managing menopause symptoms? Additionally, are there any potential risks associated with its use? Is there any feedback, data or experiences supporting the efficacy of happy mammoth supplement? Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can sometimes cause sweating as a side effect and is this ever an issue when you're trying to use it for hot flushes? Does Mirtazapine have a role in the management of vasomotor symptoms? Could you please discuss the use of Prometrium per vaginally and the recommended doses when you give it by that route? If you're on a standard or higher dose of something like Estraderm, is there a need to increase the Prometrium dosing on the higher dose? Do you need to give double the dose or give it more often? Can you please clarify the role of Tibolone in menopause, including its relative benefits and risks? I'm having trouble with resistance of some of my patients to start menopause or hormone therapy due to being told by their breast physician, surgeon, and friends that no woman with even a moderately increased risk of breast cancer should ever be on menopause hormone. How would you recommend that we advise these patients? Patient Case: I've got a 40-years-old who's perimenopausal and presents with hot flushes, mood swings, night sweats and brain fog. She has a history of Churg-Strauss syndrome. What is the best option for her treatment? Patient Case: I see lots of perimenopausal patients who have already started menopause hormone therapy and have irregular periods. However, on menopausal hormone therapy they get regular periods and they feel better, do they need contraception advice? Do you need to use contraception if you're on menopausal hormone therapy?

There is lots of woo-woo rubbish being marketed to women for the management of menopause. Most of it is useless apart from making your wallet lighter. There are though several complementary options in menopause are evidence-based. Dr Lucy and Dr Mary discuss hot flushes (or hot flashes) during menopause which is one of the most common symptoms and for many women one of the most distressing. They discuss some of the non-drug treatments available. They focus on three mind-body practices proven to be safe and effective: yoga, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and hypnosis. They do a deep dive into hypnosis and explain how it can be used to regulate body temperature, improve sleep, reduce stress, and increase motivation to exercise.

With our brain at the helm, the hormonal changes we experience through perimenopause affect how we think, feel, cope, react, sleep, the density of our bones, our heart health, our patience, our tolerance, how we look, how we feel about life as a whole and so much more. Shockingly, nearly 1 in 4 women report feeling as though life is not worth living through this stage of life which can unfold over many years. Any significant life change can see us knocking on the door of our local GP for help. GP's are incredible for SO many reasons, but relatively few have the kind of perimenopausal expertise many women need. From her personal experiences, and her work in clinic with menopausal women, Clinical Psychologist Kirsten Bouse saw a critical need for skilled, experienced, passionate healthcare providers who could support women on their perimenopause journey with expertise. She founded 'All About Her - The Centre for Menopause' and joined me for this week's episode to talk about the magic and messiness of this life stage for women, and where women can turn to for specialist help.www.allabouthercentre.com.au@the_midlife_psychologist and@allabouthercentrewww.linkedin.com/in/kirstin-bouse   ABOUT JODI: Jodi is a speaker, educator, and bestselling author specialising in anxiety and well-being.

A new drug called Veoza used to prevent hot flushes and night sweats has been approved in the UK. Also known as fezolinetant, it is prescription-only and will be available privately from January. Dr Paula Briggs, chair of the British Menopause Society and consultant in sexual and reproductive health at Liverpool Women's Hospital joins Jessica to explain the importance for many women of this decision.What would you say to spending Christmas with your friends instead of your family? You may have seen an article this morning in the Independent where the journalist Katie Glass says she'll be having a 'women-only Christmas', sharing the day with four like-minded girlfriends. Some of us may choose to do this intentionally, for others it may not be their first choice but they are making the most of the situation. And sometimes the most unexpected Christmases turn out to be the most fun. Journalist Daisy Finer spent Christmas last year with a female friend, when her children were with her ex-husband, and talks about 'the joy of a very self-centred Christmas'.Have you got a signature scent – and would you share where you got it from? Whether you are ‘gatekeeping' your perfume or keen to spread the word about your favourite scent, smell is one of the most evocative and emotive of our senses. Joining Jessica Creighton to talk all things fragrance, Guardian beauty editor Sali Hughes and Experimental Perfume Club's Roshni Dhanjee discuss why we want to smell unique, gifting perfume, and why smell is so connected to our emotions and identity.Can loneliness really take the same toll on your physical and mental health as smoking and lack of exercise? The British Psychological Society says it's a scourge on society and should be treated as a public health emergency. It's calling for the Government's 2018 Loneliness Strategy to be updated to reflect the impact of the pandemic. We talk to Julia Faulconbridge, a consultant clinical psychologist from the organisation, and also Liz Veitch, a retired deputy headteacher who became increasingly lonely after being widowed, moving house and then facing the lockdowns. She was introduced to 19-year-old Ankita Menon, a volunteer with Kissing It Better, whose mission statement is ‘to reduce the isolation of old age by bringing the generations together.'Elle and The Pocket Belles sing live in the Woman's Hour studio on the last live programme before Christmas. Describing themselves as an all-girl retro band, they are a vocal harmony group who have been singing together for more than a decade. They'll be creating more Christmas cheer with a couple of seasonal songs.Presenter: Jessica Creighton Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Dr Colette Haydon oozes French charm and is wonderfully frank and easy to talk to. She gives real, raw insights into how menopause was for her and feels it is crucial to be honest with those who ask - especially when it comes to the question, "How long does it last?" At 64, she still has symptoms from time to time so what does she do about it?

Jilly joins Emma to talk about football, why there is less sex in her novels now, and her view on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reading her books. Why do we swear, and are women judged differently for swearing than men? Why are some swear words considered more offensive than others, and what does that tell us about misogyny and sexism in society?

We have been bringing you women's voices from Israel and Gaza since the start of the war. Yesterday, you will have heard on the programme Rachel Goldberg, mother of a 23-year-old hostage Hersh Goldberg Polin, kidnapped by Hamas from a music festival in Israel. Today, we hear from a mother in Gaza. Nour Swirki is a journalist with two children living in Khan Younis, a city in the southern strip of Gaza, with her husband, mother and sister - they have had to leave their home in Gaza City for safety reasons and relocate to the south - a fraught journey many more Palestinians are expected to make. Due to the difficulties in speaking live to guests in Gaza, we asked Nour to record for us voice notes explaining the situation she and her family are currently in. She and her husband continue to work as journalists while her wider family look after her children - a son and daughter aged 10 and 12.

The NHS is launching a new study into Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, which affects around twice as many women as men. The study, a joint project with Alzheimer's Research UK and Alzheimer's Society, will use a blood test to detect for the disease at an early stage. There is currently no single test for Alzheimer's and patients can wait years for a diagnosis. Dr Susan Mitchell, Head of Policy at Alzheimer's Research UK, one of the charities leading this study talks to Emma. Emma talks to journalist Linda McDougall about her new biography of Marcia Williams, who went on to become Baroness Falkender. Linda hopes to shift public perception of the Baroness as a Svengali figure who influenced Prime Minister Harold Wilson during the sixties and seventies, and gain recognition for her achievements for the Labour Party. Linda's alternative history is called Marcia Williams, The Life and Times of Baroness Falkender. Presenter: Emma Barnett Studio manager: Duncan Hannant

Dawn Adams jovially describes herself as ‘chaos', but in my opinion she is a multi-tasking, time-defying, change-making superhero - with an undeniably soothing voice to boot.Dawn is a former teacher turned midwife with a specialist interest in diabetes and pregnancy from Northern Ireland. She's is also completing a PhD in type 1 diabetes, pregnancy and wearable technology, and uses any remaining spare minute to advocate for awareness around type 1 diabetes and menopause, after she found a lack of information and peer support to help guide her through her own experience. All of this, plus she's been handling the not-so-small task of living with type 1 diabetes for 30 years. Diagnosed at the age of 22, Dawn was one of the first in her hospital to receive a modern insulin injection pen, but in the same week she was told it was unlikely she would be able to have children because of her diagnosis. That thankfully turned out not to be the case, and she has four healthy boys with the man who proposed to her just weeks after her type 1 diagnosis - a commitment to figuring it all out together. Dawn's full time job as a midwife is dedicated to helping women bring life into the world, and her advocacy work gives a mouthpiece to the silenced women who are coping with the life-altering affects of menopause with type 1 diabetes. What an inspiration. I admire Dawn's spirit, her quiet courage, her belief in working together to make progress and most of all, her attitude to life.Prepare to fall in love with Dawn!

*The information in this podcast is intended for Healthcare Practitioners. Despite women spending more of their lives in a post-menopausal state, there has been limited progress in how society views and supports menopausal women. In this episode, we are joined by Professor Mary Anne Lumsden, a leading researcher and menopause advocate, to examine menopause from all angles. Professor Lumsden explains that with appropriate biopsychosocial support, menopausal women can thrive and be revered. The conversation begins by exploring the evolutionary theory of the grandma hypothesis, which suggests that menopause is a feature rather than a bug. We delve into the menopausal transition and how symptoms, such as hot flushes, are not solely driven by an absolute estrogen deficiency. In this light, non-hormonal treatments are explored. Additionally, Professor Lumsden outlines the latest updates on the benefits and risks of menopausal hormone replacement therapy, suggesting that the risks may have been overstated in the past. We then turn to the health challenges that menopausal women often face, such as unwanted weight gain, body composition changes, osteoporosis, and dementia. Professor Lumsden provides insights on evidence-based clinical strategies to support women during this transitional phase of life. Tune in for a menopausal masterclass that offers an evolutionary, biopsychosocial, and clinical perspective on how menopausal women can thrive. Mary Ann Lumsden is the CEO of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics and former Professor of Medical Education & Gynaecology and Head of Reproductive & Maternal Medicine, University of Glasgow. She is Past Senior Vice President for Strategy at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London. Mary Ann has considerable experience of developing Guidelines. She was Chair of the Guidelines Development Group for the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guideline ‘Menopause: Investigation and Management'.

The average age of a woman in menopause is 51 but can range between 40-58 years old. We are going to spend a third of our lives in menopause so why not make it as vibrant as possible? There is no need to suffer during perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause when we have options to support us. Perimenopause and menopause may include a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, anxiety, hair loss, and weight gain. Menopause also opens the door to an increased risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and metabolic syndrome.I've said this before on previous podcasts, and I will say it again, at the end of the day you get to make the final decision on whether or not to take hormone replacement therapy, whether it's HRT or BHRT. At the very least, educate yourself on the topic, the benefits, and the possible health consequences if you don't do anything. Then, make your decision.My guest today is Dr. Wen Shen, an associate professor of clinical gynecology and an associate professor of oncology at the oncology center in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

She often works with her patients' primary care provider to recommend non-hormonal therapies, alternative treatment options and menopause hormone therapy as appropriate for the individual patient.In addition to clinical care, Dr. Shen focuses on educating her patients, other physicians and future physicians on women's post reproductive health. She is engaged in clinical trials for new therapies for the treatment of menopause symptoms. She is actively developing curricula and educational aids for future physicians and health care providers on menopause medicine and the importance of healthy aging. Dr. Shen has published numerous articles and book chapters on menopause and perimenopause. She is a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and is on the Board of Trustees for the North American Menopause Society.Dr. Shen earned her Master's in Public Health and her Medical Degree from the Tulane University School of Medicine.

Probably the most well-known of the menopausal symptoms, the hot flush has provided endless material for humourists over the years but it's no fun when it's happening to you. It can cause huge distress, especially in a professional or social situation or if it's persistently disrupting your sleep. But help is at hand in this episode with this month's guest who is just the woman we need to provide us with some practical flush-busting strategies.I'm delighted to introduce the brilliant Dr Melanie Smith – she's a clinical health psychologist who played a key role, along with Professor Myra Hunter,  in developing and facilitating the first cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT as it's often known, for menopause groups as part of an innovative research trial. This research demonstrates that CBT is a valid and effective non-medical approach to managing menopause symptoms and Melanie is here today to explain to us what a huge difference it can make to dealing with hot flushes. We discuss what hot flushes are and why they happen. Melanie explains what CBT is and why a psychological approach can help to tackle something that seems to be such a physical problem. We explore the role of stress in triggering and exacerbating hot flushes and Melanie shares some practical strategies to help you combat them. If you enjoy this episode, please tell your friends and family, and leave a 5-star rating and a review on Apple Podcasts or whichever platform you listen on, as it really helps to spread the word, so that new listeners can find the show. Because every woman deserves to have a happy menopause.
