Heart Disease Is The Number 1 Killer Of Women. Most Women Think It's Cancer. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I want to start with a statistic that is quite shocking and every woman should be aware of.Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. More than breast cancer. More than ovarian cancer. More than lung cancer. Combined.And yet most women are far more worried about cancer than their heart.Why? Because we’ve been told, for decades, that heart disease is a man’s problem. A man’s disease. Something that happens to overweight, stressed-out men in their 50s who eat poorly.Not us.Except it
New Podcast: 1 in 6 Women in Menopause Are Having Suicidal Thoughts. We Need To Talk About It. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I need to start with a statistic that stopped me in my tracks.1 in 6 women in menopause are experiencing suicidal thoughts that are not being identified or treated effectively. Women aged 45-54 have the highest suicide rate among women in the UK. Women in perimenopause are 33% more likely to experience suicidal thoughts than women who are premenopausal.And here’s the part that makes me angry: suicidal thoughts in perimenopausal women don’t consistently match standard depression scores.

Our Second Puberty: Hormonal Acne in Menopause (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who else sometimes has skin like a teenager again?Oily and dry skin, spots on my cheeks and jaw. The classic hormonal patterns I used to get when I was young, especially in the week leading up to my period. This time round though, there was no consistent pattern, spots would just pop up at random times. Now, I’m a nutritionist who specialises in menopause and I still get spots. This made me realise this isn’t about knowledge, it’s hormonal so there’s only so much control we have over this. If yo
