Bonus: The menopause episode

Bonus: The menopause episode

BONUS EPISODE – today’s installment of BFN is sponsored by Thriva.


Emma and Gabby were invited to host a brilliant event with Thriva, She’s So Hormonal, which brought together experts and real-life stories to raise awareness of how female hormones can affect us. Yes that’s our old friends mood swings, fatigue, bad skin, fertility and the menopause.


This episode is a recording of one of the panel discussions – Own Your Menopause – which saw some kick-ass women talking about their experiences of the menopause and how best to survive it, including:


Meg Matthews – Britpop icon and founder of Megs Menopause

Sally Bee – health & wellbeing coach, journalist and presenter

Jo McEwan – co-founder of Positive Pause

Sara Matthews – gynecologist and menopause specialist at the Portland Hospital


Thriva is the proactive health company enabling you to get a better understanding of your health over time with clinical grade, finger-prick blood tests you take at home. The event was to celebrate the launch of two new kits: female hormones and menopause.


If you fancy trying one, use the discount code BFN to get £10 off. Unfortunately this is one for our UK listeners only. Sorry international buddies xx
