Also on the subject of Menopause, there was an excellent television programme which aired on Monday with Davina McCall.
It was a follow up programme to one she made back in May 2021 relating to her own Menopause experience.
Davina had turned 44 and felt like she was losing it, with hot flushes, depression, and mental fog. She told her own menopause story, busting midlife taboos, from sex to hormone replacement therapy.
Last Mondays documentary was the presenter investigating how menopause can affect the mind as well as the body, revealing how symptoms such as memory loss and brain fog are decimating women at work. Davina also investigates the latest advances in hormone therapy, how the menopause changes the brain, and why testosterone is not just for boys!
There are currently 13 million Menopausal women in the UK...but understanding what happens during Menopause is very much hindered by a lack of research. The programme covers many questions and facts and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it.
