Sleep... the exlixir of life
Getting a good night’s sleep…something we all need to prioritise for our health & wellbeing, but especially if we’re going through, (what can be), a turbulent hormonal transition – the Menopause.
When we hit those zzzs there’s a lot going on - a multitude of restorative processes…tissue growth & repair, brain recovery & rest, memory consolidation… an endless list.
Your job is to give your body chance to get that good night’s sleep.
Whether you’re struggling to maintain consistent sleep patterns or not this is a must listen. It’s incredibly interesting and informative with lots of practical tips & sleep hacks throughout. The key as always - you have to put a bit of effort in yourself!
Understanding the different stages of an average sleep cycle, the do’s & don’ts of catnapping, the myths around sleep and what the term social jetlag means will encourage so many of you to start prioritising what some refer to as, the elixir of life!
To help Heather and Ruth discuss this important topic on The Menopause Matters, Let's Talk podcast they are delighted to be joined by experienced GP & registered Menopause specialist Dr. Zoe Schaedel who specialises in sleep medicine.

Employers... how we can help you get ahead with your Menopause Action Plan, before it becomes mandatory in 2027
From April 2026 large employers should voluntarily publish an Equality (or Menopause) Action Plan; by 2027 this becomes mandatory. The plan must cover menopause support (alongside gender pay gap action). To help with that we can now offer companies and organisations, large or small, the opportunity to subscribe to the Digital Version of Menopause Matters and enable their employees/members access to the online magazine.
Email us for further information and pricing using the link below. Providing an indication of how many employees/members you would like to have access would be most helpful.
