Why we ALL need to know more about the menopause with Mariella Frostrup & Alice Smellie
Mariella Frostrup has been a distinctive voice in broadcasting for many years. In this episode she joins with health journalist Alice Smellie to talk about their book, Cracking the Menopause While Keeping Yourself Together, which brings their take on menopause - why we all need to know more about it, and what people who are going through perimenopause or menopause can do to understand it better and alleviate their symptoms. The conversation gets feisty as Mariella and Alice express their frustration at the general lack of knowledge about the menopause - which affects half the population - and the popular perception that menopause means ‘the end’ for women; in fact it’s the start of an exciting new life stage. This episode is both a personal campaign from Mariella and Alice to break the stigma around menopause, and an invaluable resource - it’s packed with information and advice both from themselves and the many experts they have spoken to. As Mariella might put it, don’t think that if you’re not menopausal, this episode isn’t for you - listening to it will empower anyone who is interested in health and wellness.
