Menopause, HRT and doing your own research, with Rina


Listen Later

This week we speak to Rina, feminist entrepreneur, CFO, soon to finish her doctorate (and Tara’s mum!), about her journey with menopause and HRT.


When she started getting debilitating night sweats she decided to take matters into her own hands. She read medical journals and papers to inform herself as best she could and tried different things until she found what worked for her.


We discuss:


  • HRT, what it is, why the dosage is important
  • Herbal remedies, diets and other non chemical ways to ease symptoms
  • How to speak to doctors to get what you’ve come for
  • Bioidentical HRT, how this differs and what the process is


A survey in 2021 showed that 72% of women weren’t treating their menopause despite 90% of women experiencing symptoms.


This is hugely important listen for all of us, at any age. Menopause is not spoken about nearly enough and it impacts 50% of the population at some point in our lives.
