099 - Kate Muir: I cannot let this happen to other people

099 - Kate Muir: I cannot let this happen to other people

Journalist and menopause activist, Kate Muir joins Dr Louise Newson in this podcast episode to discuss Kate's experience of her own menopause journey and what propelled her to make the Channel 4 documentary, Sex, Myths and Menopause.

Kate shares how she struggled to find the right information about her symptoms and HRT, and after an unsuccessful spell taking compounded bioidentical hormones, she was shocked to realise how little advice was out there and how limited healthcare professionals' knowledge is of up-to-date treatments. Kate thought if she, as an educated woman with an enquiring mind was fumbling in the dark, how much harder is it for other women from all walks of life to get the right menopause care and treatment?

Kate's 3 messages for listeners:

  1. Body identical HRT saves your life, it saves your work, it saves your relationships, it makes your body work. It's fantastic.

  2. The research on the long-term benefits of HRT is fascinating. If you're in a family with a history of osteoporosis, heart disease, or dementia, I would be paying very close attention to the evidence on the benefits of taking body identical HRT for your future health.

  3. Tell your story. Every woman has a unique story to tell of their perimenopause or menopause. We need to talk about it more and more.
