Dr Jen Gunter returns to the podcast to discuss all things menopause; the biology of it and the narrative around it.In researching her latest book, The Menopause Manifesto, it struck Jen how the patriarchal narrative around menopause was actually hindering women, which is why the book became a manifesto to empower women with accurate information around what happens to their bodies during this time.As she says in the show, ‘it shouldn’t be an act of feminism to understand menopause, but it is’. During this conversation, @drjengunter and I discuss:Why it’s so wrong to think of your last period as an expiry date on your femininity.Why being empowered and making empowered choices requires access to accurate information.Why a patriarchal society doesn’t get to determine a woman’s worth.The lifestyle choices you make in your 20s and 30s that can positively impact your long-term health and your menopause experience.Why life can be better post-menopause.How pseudo-science and snake oil have nothing to offer you other than to take your money.The role of supplementation is treating menopause symptoms and whether anything will actually work.Plus, many mentions of Thor, Chris Hemsworth, Gal Gal Gadot and Idris Elba.The Menopause Manifesto by Dr Jen Gunter is available now.The Vagina Bible by Dr Jen Gunter is available now.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

This episode is brought to you in collaboration with CeraVe.In this beauty special, we’re going to hear the story of CeraVe from its co-founder and Senior Vice President of Global Professional Marketing, Tom Allison. CeraVe is the US skincare brand that has achieved cult status in the States and now, here in the UK. What makes it so special is something we’re going to unpick with Tom in this episode, but for me, the fact it’s developed with dermatologists goes a long way to explain, not only its cult status but the reason it’s known for being such an efficient and reliable range of products. In this episode, Tom reveals where CeraVe started, and why helping people to achieve healthy skin with efficient and proven ingredients has always been at the brand’s core. Tom also explains why working with dermatologists is such a vital element of the brand’s story, so much so they even say it in the logo, and we also venture into the challenges and hurdles CeraVe had to overcome in order to get to where it is today. When you start off on the bottom shelf in the pharmacy, it takes a lot to get up to eye level…We also take a deep dive into the ceramide formula that’s the beating heart of every CeraVe product and why it’s such a crucial component, not just in the lotions and creams, but also for overall skin health - and how it’ll make your skin feel.Tom also walks us through making CeraVe so accessible via communication, application and cost.if you’re keen to find the CeraVe range you can find it in-store at Boots and also online at boots.com.Follow CeraVe on Instagram at @cerave and @ceraveuki To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

Frances Edmonds is a speaker and author who joins me on the show to share the steps to reinvention. If you feel stifled, stuck or claustrophobic in your professional or personal life then you may need to 'repot your life', as Frances describes it, because you have become 'potbound'.In this episode, we discuss the why and how to reframe your thinking, reset your purpose and rejuvenate yourself over and over again.If you're risk-averse then the idea of constantly changing and starting from scratch might seem foolhardy, but given that we're living decades longer than ever before in a world that's innovating and advancing faster than it ever has done, being on a path that involves change and learning is one where you are less likely to be left behind.In this episode, Frances and I discuss:Why repotting is all about learning how to manage life’s transitions and changes and how empowering it is when you realise a situation you are in is suboptimal in order to move away from it. We also discuss how important it is to get to know yourself and your patterns so you can name the behaviours that might be limiting you, accept them and change them. We talk about how failure is one of life’s greatest teachers - not that we should all go out and try to fail - but if it happens, and you can look at it objectively and see what went wrong, you can move forward with great purpose. Frances also champions the growth mindset, the three Hs of humility, humanity and humour and why you get to choose your genre and why having a purpose is so important.And much much more...To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!
