  • The Menopause Industry The Real Deal — From Taboo to Multi-Billion Pound Industry with Naomi Darom

    The Menopause Industry The Real Deal — From Taboo to Multi-Billion Pound Industry with Naomi Darom
    Mar 25 2026
    In this episode, I step outside the clinic and into the heart of our culture to explore how menopause has transformed from a silent life stage into a multi-billion pound industry. I’m joined by the brilliant Naomi Darom, a journalist and sociologist who began asking the tough questions after her own experience with perimenopause: Why are so many of us under-diagnosed? Why does the market rush in with glossy, expensive solutions just as healthcare gaps become visible? Together, we peel back the layers of menopause branding, celebrity-backed products, and the history of how we’ve been treated Naomi Reveals: The Truth About The Menopause Industrial Complex: As clinical care for menopause often falls short, a lucrative market of supplements, smart rings, and celebrity-branded creams has rushed in to fill the void The History of Dismissal: Historically, menopause treatments were often marketed to husbands rather than women, with the promise that a feminine and pliant wife would be restored The Power of the Menopause Club: The rise of open conversation among women and celebrities has been instrumental in breaking the taboo, allowing women to validate each other's experiences and share reliable information. Why We Should Be Advocating for Systemic Change: The true solution lies not in expensive products, but in systemic shifts: more research funding for women's health BEST MOMENTS "We don't get a menopause talk the way we get a puberty talk... no one prepares you for it." "Nature abhors a vacuum, so the market gets into it... it’s a pink tax. It's the same as any other product that's marketed for women; we're going to pay more just because it's marketed for us." "Are you empowering us by getting us to spend more money? I don't find that very empowering, actually." "If you are lucky enough to reach a certain age and you have ovaries, you're going to probably go through menopause. This is just a natural part of aging."

  • HRT Facts for Menopause: What Women Are Often Not Told

    HRT Facts for Menopause: What Women Are Often Not Told
    Mar 18 2026
    This time I’m diving deep into the often-confusing world of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to clear up the misinformation that keeps so many of us from feeling our best. I’m sharing four critical facts about HRT that are rarely discussed, from how your daily habits like swimming or saunas can impact your patches, to the truth about medical deal-breakers like migraines or high BMI. Together we’ll shift the narrative from fear to empowerment, showing you that menopause isn’t a temporary phase to get through, but a time where you deserve a high quality of life and evidence-based care. Whether you’ve been told HRT isn’t right for you, or you’re worried about fixed time limits on your treatment, I’m here to give you the clarity and hope you need to advocate for your health and reclaim your vibrancy. Michelle Reveals How your daily routine, particularly activities involving high heat or prolonged water exposure like swimming, hot tubs, and saunas, can affect how well HRT patches adhere and how quickly the hormones are absorbed into your system. Why many common health conditions, such as migraines, high blood pressure, or diabetes, do not automatically rule out HRT Why there is no fixed time limit for how long a woman can stay on HRT; since the body does not restart hormone production on its own, treatment can be continued as long as the benefits outweigh the risks. How Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause affects roughly half of post-menopausal women, and local oestrogen can reduce symptoms like bladder urgency and vaginal discomfort by 60% BEST MOMENTS "Menopause isn't temporary. Once we are menopausal, our ovaries don't suddenly restart hormone production a few years later." "Having certain medical conditions does not automatically rule HRT out. It's about looking at each woman individually, weighing up whether the benefits outweigh the risks, and making informed decisions." "Local vaginal oestrogen can reduce genitourinary symptoms by around 60%. 60%! That is huge." "Menopause care is not one size fits all. It's about understanding what's happening in your body” HOST BIO Michelle is a highly respected Physiotherapist and Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry.

  • Understanding Pelvic Health through Menopause with Francoise De Smet

    Understanding Pelvic Health through Menopause with Francoise De Smet
    Mar 11 2026
    I sit down with women's health practitioner Francoise De Smet to pull back the curtain on a topic far too many of us have been taught to suffer through in silence: pelvic floor dysfunction. For years, women have been told that leaks and heaviness are just part of aging, but Francoise is here to flip that narrative on its head. We dive deep into the crucial distinction between a weak and a hypertonic pelvic floor, explaining why traditional kegels might actually be making your symptoms worse. By learning to manage internal pressure through lateral breathing and posture, you’ll learn to reconnect with your core and reclaim a sense of strength and function that you might have thought was gone for good. Francoise Reveals Why many pelvic issues, like leaking when sneezing or coughing, are actually caused by a hypertonic or overactive pelvic floor How hypopressives use lateral breathing and specific postures to manage internal pressure, lifting and restoring the entire core Why internal pressure management is key. When the diaphragm and abdominal walls are tight or dysfunctional, every cough or jump sends pressure downward, forcing the pelvic floor to compensate or fail. Who symptoms like lower back pain, a persistent urge to find a bathroom, or even post-void leaking are often dismissed but can be early indicators of pelvic floor dysfunction or prolapse. BEST MOMENTS "Go and get stronger! It’s a total pressure on women that we've got to be able to handle it all." "Your pelvic floor is sending you signals that your entirety and your nervous system isn't coping. And that is a good opportunity for you to give yourself a little break." “That softness, that pause, and that gentleness is going to be so incredibly impactful." “Collectively there is something wrong, and that is the misinformation that we have. By raising awareness, we can fix it for all of us."
