Ahead of World Menopause Day 2019 on October 18, we do a bit more banging on about the menopause. Because it's important. And also because we managed to grab some time with Dr Louise Newson, known to many simply as the Menopause Doctor. Mick chats to her about symptoms, diagnosis, education, her (excellent) Haynes manual, and how knowledge is very much power when it comes to coping and indeed thriving for peri and menopausal women.

Visit https://www.menopausedoctor.co.uk for comprehensive info from Dr Newson and her fellow experts. And check out our whole series of Chops on the menopause, which you'll find on our Acast and Apple Podcast pages.
