With the numbers of women of menopausal age in employment at an all time high, I have been really keen to promote the topic of menopause, and the need for frank and open discussion about it, for some time now.

Allow me to introduce you to Kate Organ; Consultant Clinical Pharmacist, British Menopause Society Menopause Specialist - and founder of The Menopause Specialists, who are a team of experienced healthcare professionals offering individualised and evidence-based treatment, support, and advice to women on all aspects of perimenopause and menopause.

I am happy to say that Kate was the perfect podcast guest and in this no-holds-barred conversation, you can expect to learn about:

The definition of menopause and perimenopause
Common symptoms, and how best to address these
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT); how it can help and the different types of HRT treatment available
Kate's own experiences of the menopause
Managing work commitments alongside the menopause
Why lifestyle factors are key to maintaining good health and wellbeing now, and in the future
Where to go for further information and support
