March 15, 2023 Dr Katie talks HRT: Did you know you can try HRT for a year with no increased cancer risk?
In this episode I’m back talking to Dr Katie and we’re unpacking the behemoth that is HRT. I think this is what most women consider to be the hot topic of Menopause. Do you or don’t you? Should you or shouldn't you? Dr Katie lays out all the facts so you can make an informed choice about your own body.

March 01, 2023 Meet Judy, Theo and Chloe: 3 mums dealing with the Menopause. Don't be fooled by the cheery hellos on the school run, there's a volcano bubbling under the surface
In this episode I'd like you to meet Judy, Theo and Chloe, 3 mums who prove that there's a hell of a lot more bubbling under the surface on the school run than the fixed smiles and cheery hellos let on. We'll be talking about being told by your GP to go away because you're not Menopausal enough, the importance of talking to our daughters and sons about the entire hormonal lifespan of a woman, not just the start and getting to a point where we're not apologising for being Menopausal anymore.

I'd like you to meet Dr Katie Barber. She's going to be BMO's resident Menopause Specialist. In this episode we find out about her own menopause journey and how she didn't even recognise the symptoms in herself despite her years of training. So I think we can cut ourselves a bit of slack!

February 01, 2023 Hello, welcome to my Pod: The Menopause? Can’t be…can it!? I was utterly clueless
Hi, my name's India Fisher, when the Menopause hit I had no idea what was going on with me. I just knew I was falling apart. In this introductory episode I open up about my story; some of it funny, some brutally honest. We shouldn't all be suffering in silence, we need to talk to each other. So I'm getting the ball rolling. Oh and I explain the Orca thing!
