MenoWars & The Menopause Industry with Fiona Clark


Listen Later

In this WKC Spill The Tea episode, we’re joined by the extraordinary Fiona Clark,  award-winning journalist, women’s health advocate, and author of MenoWars

Fiona brings fire, humour and expertise to the menopause landscape which has become muddied with commercialism and mis-information. 

Fiona’s career spans continents and causes- from reporting in Moscow on the collapse of the Soviet Union, to writing for The Lancet, and now to tackling menopause- one of the most misunderstood and politicised topics in women’s health.

We chat about:

💬 The booming menopause “industry” - hype, divides & money

📊 Research shocks and revelations from MenoWars

🤝 Keeping focus on women’s health, not profit

💡 The mission of the Menopause Research & Education Fund

✨ And what she’d change about the menopause conversation worldwide


We also have a Menopause Book Club for you where we take a look at brand new menopause books released by experts.


Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week. 💫
