Meet Diane Danzebrink and Andrea Swan the women Making Menopause Matter. They're making sure women's health is pushed into the public arena for the benefit of us all.

In this episode I get all political and fired up with Diane Danzebrink founder of the Make Menopause Matter campaign and Menopause Support, a not for profit organisation, full of help and resources. We’re joined by Andrea Swan, her office manager, to talk about how they’ve gone from chats round Andrea’s kitchen table to lobbying Parliament and educating future generations. Would that we all had their passion and determination.


Let's pick up Diane’s fight to push women’s health further up the agenda and the urgent need for a Public Health Campaign so we can all be armed with the information we need to deal with our own Menopause.


The easiest way is to sign her petition, click on the change.org link below to add your voice, so that future generations are taught what to expect and get the care they need from medical professionals.
