The menopause journey represents a significant time within the female lifespan. For some this may be a relatively straightforward process, but for others, the menopause can be very challenging. Most females are likely to experience menopause, yet it remains a topic that is rarely spoken about — by the females experiencing it and the health professionals trying to support them.
In the weeks following the Equality and Human Rights Commission announcing their new guidance for employers on their legal obligations to those experiencing menopause, we shed light on the physiological changes that happen during the transition - what happens to our bodies and why, exactly how our hormones are changing and the possible implications of this - and why female health and physiology has often been overlooked in the past.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Jessica Piasecki, from Nottingham Trent University’s School of Science and Technology, who offers valuables insights and practical tips for managing menopausal symptoms, and also discusses how we can foster meaningful conversations and improve education around female health, from childhood into adulthood, and empower ourselves with this knowledge.
