New Podcast Launched
Dr. Heather Currie MBE of Menopause Matters and Ruth Devlin of Let’s Talk Menopause, have got together to produce a podcast, called Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk. We hope that the podcast will become your go to for anything to do with the menopause and related topics. In this introductory episode, Flipping Estrogen, we chat through some of the basics about the menopause. Why there is such a range of symptoms and why we all have such differing experiences. We discuss diagnosis and blood tests and we touch on the variety of different symptoms associated with the menopause - which will be discussed in further episodes, alongside the many options available to cope with the symptoms.
