And how fitting that I get to speak with Niki Bezzant, Author of “This Changes Everything: the honest guide to menopause and perimenopause” and “The Everything Guide: Hormones, Health and Happiness in menopause, midlife and beyond” for the 100th episode and the final one for 2024.
Niki and I have had quite similar perimenopause experiences, but as we know, it’s different for every woman. We also wanted to review the state of menopause the past few years and ultimately highlight that research, care and support IS getting better and yet there is still so much that needs to be done.
This is a JUICY episode and we discuss:
Our Hormone Therapy (HT) experiences and the symptoms that sent us to the doctor for help. What worked and what didn't.
Body shape changes and how we feel about it. The lifelong challenge women have with body image and how menopause can help or hinder.
Niki’s overview from the recent International Menopause Society Conference - how menopause is complicated - the data and research gaps - what the world knows and doesn’t know about menopause - new and promising interventions - when to start HT - and the importance of exercise during menopause.
Medical social media influencers and how they help, or not!
“Menowashing” pros and cons and do the supplements work? Diets - what are the best and worst during menopause.
Healthy aging and gendered ageism and what this actually means for women.
It’s a LOT! Niki and I could have spoken for hours and I’m so grateful that we do make the time to catch up to share what we have learnt and help other women.

It's been a while since I've had a conversation with another woman in her menopause life stage.
About 10 months ago, Tarryn accidentally went viral on TikTok with a clip about her perimenopause journey—because apparently, the universe thought she hadn’t had enough surprises for one lifetime. Fuelled by a desire to make sure other women didn’t face the same blindsiding, she kept the conversation going, mixing in her own life stories, quirks, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour.
Tarryn’s unfiltered honesty and willingness to show off her imperfections have turned her into the relatable, ‘so-not-Instagram’ character that women didn’t know they were missing. After all, who wants perfect when you can have real?

PMDD - Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, can affect up to 20% of the female population yet very little is known about it.
Many of us can attest to PMS symptoms throughout our monthly cycles and 1 in 5 women may be experiencing hormonally driven symptoms that can seriously impact their quality of life.
I spoke with Dr Ceri Cashell, MBCHB MRCP MRCGP FRACGP, GP Principal (Avalon Family Medical Practice) in Australia about PMDD.
The questions I asked her:
1. What is PMDD and how is it diagnosed?
2. When it comes to menopause, how does PMDD affect women?
3. What are your top recommendations to support women who might be struggling with PMDD and in menopause?
I hope this episode helps someone looking for answers.

Kirstin Bouse is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist with nearly 3 decades of experience.
Over the past 15 or so years, she’s found herself working with women as they navigate big transitions in their lives - motherhood, divorce and perimenopause.
Six years into her own perimenopause experience, along with a late-diagnosis of ADHD (after all 3 sons were diagnosed as teenagers and young adults - yep, she was late to the party for them too) and burnout, Kirstin became super frustrated by the lack of recognition of the significance of perimenopause and midlife in general. Let alone the double whammy of perimenopause and ADHD.
In this episode, we discuss:
- what exactly is ADHD?
- the differences in ADHD between the sexes
- the process of getting a diagnosis for ADHD
- why is it that women in perimenopause might start to question if they have ADHD?
- what support can one expect once they have an ADHD diganosis

MHT - menopause hormone therapy - also known as HRT is one of the the first line treatments for women suffering from menopause symptoms. 80% of women taking MHT have seen an improvement in their symptoms and for many women, it's a lifesaver.

“It’s insulting how a supplement brand can pop out ONE product to fix ALL your symptoms - we aren’t about that” Kirsty Strowger
From beauty to colon hydrotherapy to one of Australia’s leading women’s health supplements companies, Kirsty Strowger is the OG hustler, business maven, and health trend spotter.
With long-held passions for inner health and natural healing, Kirsty Strowger started Nature’s Help 2012 as a weight loss supplement manufacturer with over 400 Australian stockists. In 2014 she added to her e-commerce success with the creation of Turmeric Australia, which after a short time was and still is the biggest and most respected online Turmeric range of nutraceuticals in Australia.
In 2020 Kirsty started to work on an idea to get women more engaged with each other around the topic of menopause. The biggest complaint most women had was there wasn’t a dedicated trusted high-quality natural range to go to help alleviate symptoms women were experiencing during this time.
Kirsty then set about doing what she does best. She designed something amazing for the women who created the world's population.

Author Jennifer Chesak is a medical journalist and fact-checker who knows what it’s like to live with chronic illness and get medically gaslighted. “I am the type of girl who does her research—like a lot of it,” she says. “I’ve researched psilocybin at length, specifically how psilocybin affects and may help women or people assigned female at birth, whether therapeutically, spiritually, or recreationally. You’ll find a synthesis of that research—along with personal stories, including my own—in this book.”
No other book on psilocybin investigates the intersection of magic mushrooms with women's health, and Chesak’s intent is to guide you through the growing body of research regarding psilocybin’s potential and provide you the safety details and considerations should you choose to use magic mushrooms.
This informative guidebook is packed full with everything you need to know about psilocybin (A.K.A. magic mushrooms), including its history, potential medicinal and recreational benefits, the latest evidence-based research, how to microdose and trip sit, and more. With The Psilocybin Handbook for Women, and in this interview, you’ll also get the answers to some of your most pressing questions, like:
