Exploring the Origins of the Show
The show 'How to Get the Menopause and Enjoy It' was born during lockdown when the host, Anne Gilday, aimed to create a piece about middle-aged Irish women. The idea to center the show around menopause came from Anne's boyfriend, highlighting the broader implications of hormonal changes in women's bodies post-menopause. This decision led to a personal journey that delved into previously unknown aspects of menopause and the impact of hormone depletion on women's bodies.
