In this thought-provoking episode of Things I Want My Daughters to Know, I'm joined by Joyce Harper for an honest, evidence-informed conversation about women's reproductive health, menopause, and the growing confusion surrounding hormone therapy.

We explore why women's health education has historically been incomplete, why men and boys must be included in these conversations, and how misinformation — even from trusted institutions — is shaping how women view their bodies and menopause itself. Together, we challenge the idea that menopause is a disease to be fixed and unpack what the research really says about hormone replacement therapy, brain health, heart health, and long-term wellbeing.

We explore comprehensive education about women's reproductive health still falls short, the explosion of menopause misinformation online and on social media and what the research actually says about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

In this episode we talk about

• Menopause is not a disease — and shouldn't be treated like one

• Why hormone therapy works for some women but not all

• The dangers of fear-based menopause messaging

• Why lifestyle factors matter more than we're led to believe

• How women can age, thrive, and flourish without over-medicalisation

• Environmental toxins, ultra-processed foods, and women's long-term health

This episode invites women to step back from fear-based narratives and reclaim trust in their bodies, while focusing on the proven lifestyle foundations that support health, vitality, and longevity.
