Dr Beth Thomas on the latest science and treatments for menopause symptoms

In this episode we catch up with Dr Beth Thomas - who works with me at Managing the Menopause as our clinical lead, is a GP, and a menopause specialist seeing private clients with Everything Menopause.   We are covering - only a little belatedly - the latest research and developments that were presented this summer at the British Menopause Society conference. So if you’d like to find out more about what an expert in menopause is excited about, listen on to hear about: Fezolinetant (Veozah) - and when we might expect to hear more about this new class of drug for vasomotor symptoms being available for those who can’t take HRT  Why rates of endometrial cancer have greatly increased over the last decade The ‘Rule of 20’ for addressing weight gain in menopause Some fascinating facts about our gut microbiome and why this is the next big thing Ethnic differences in menopause symptoms, onset, and access to care Female-specific risk factors for increased risk of cardiovascular disease How to deal with sleep disturbance - and why you should care about ‘WASO’ And last, but by no means least, tune in to find out about ‘Beth’s Rule’ and why we might all want to Be More Beth!    You can find Beth at https://www.instagram.com/dr.beththomas/ and both of us at www.managingthemenopause.com   

Om Podcasten

Hi, I’m Emma Thomas and I started the Middling Along podcast in early 2021. Often, we find as women hitting a ‘certain point’ in life, that we are so used to people-pleasing, and making sure that everyone else is OK, and their needs are met, that we have lost touch with what we want, what we need, who we are… I started Middling Along with the aim of reclaiming my own ‘midlife’ and finding my happy. Along the way we’ve covered stories of people starting new businesses, changing careers, and taking up new hobbies that have changed their lives forever. We also cover topics such as perimenopause, menopause, and positive aging. Join us for a dose of inspiration - and make sure you spend your ’messy middle’ years thriving too!
