Answering Menopause Questions You're Too Shy To Ask – With Comedian Victoria Emes And Kelly Bedford (funniest episode yet?)

In this week’s episode of Is It Hot In Here?, menopause doctor Dr Naomi Potter is joined by the brilliant duo Victoria Emes and Kelly Bedford to answer all the menopause questions you’ve always wanted to ask (but maybe never dared).

From meno-pot bellies and mystery period changes, to “what on earth is going on down there?” and learning how to give far fewer Fs — nothing is off limits.

You might know Victoria from her laugh-out-loud social media videos, and Kelly from her 20+ years as a personal trainer helping women feel stronger, fitter and more confident. Together they co-founded FitBtch Power, a fitness platform designed to support women through perimenopause and beyond — and their honest, hilarious, inclusive approach makes this a must-listen.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or just want to be prepared for what’s coming, this episode will have you laughing, nodding along, and most importantly, feeling empowered.

(Friendly warning: don’t listen on a full bladder, as uncontrollable laughter is inevitable).
