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.
