    Oh I really wanted to like this podcast, but sadly not for me. I’m sorry but I do care about ethics and the total disregard for it was really sad to listen to.

  • Some what concerned about the “factual information “

    Think you need to be careful who you present. There are a lot of non facts which could be misleading to those who don’t know differently. “I think “ is very different from “this is a fact” !

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hannah Waddingham on confidence, motherhood, menopause and Ted Lasso
Q: What has your experience been with body confidence and not dimming your light for others?
She emphasizes not compromising her presence or energy, insisting on standing tall, wearing what makes her feel powerful, and encouraging women to own their worth rather than shrinking themselves.
Hannah Waddingham on confidence, motherhood, menopause and Ted Lasso
Q: How did you navigate the transition from theatre to screen and balance your family life?
She explains it required perseverance, saying she pushed through doors that were closed, moved away from the stage to spend more time with her daughter, and later found a path that allowed both performance and motherhood.
Hormones, HRT, Libido & mood with The Menopause Medic
Q: Why is strength training important during this life stage and how should it be approached?
The host and guest discuss that strength training helps mitigate sarcopenia, supports bone density, improves mood, and can protect cognitive health. The approach should be individualized, meeting people where they are, with progression that respects their current capability and avoids one-size-fits-all prescriptions.
Hormones, HRT, Libido & mood with The Menopause Medic
Q: Is there a main difference between perimenopause and menopause in terms of how easy they are to cope with?
The guests delineate perimenopause as a period of fluctuating hormones with variable symptoms, whereas menopause involves persistently low hormone levels after the ovarian reserve is exhausted, often more stable but with different challenges; both benefit from lifestyle foundations and personalized medical guidance.
Hormones, HRT, Libido & mood with The Menopause Medic
Q: What was it about your journey becoming the menopause medic? Why did you want to delve into it for yourself as a career?
Dr. Barton explains a long-standing, compassionate drive to improve women's health, especially around menopause, driven by clinical experiences and a desire to connect dots across symptoms that many patients struggle to link together. She emphasizes the need for evidence-based guidance and individualized care.
