There are so many intersectionalities with menopause.

Today I am talking to the beautiful Noelle Sinclair, from Diverse Minds. Noelle talks very frankly about her diagnosis with ASD, and her diagnosis with ADHD, and how menopause and perimenopause in particular impacted this.

In episode 3 of Season 3, we talk to Clinical Psychologist Dr Saidi, founder of MindnLife about how hormones impact our mental health during our 40's and beyond.

Dr Ziadi highlights the key areas of our mental health that is impacted by hormones and strategies we can use to manage the impact.

As a menopause advocate at EY, Ewan is determined to promote gender equality and create an inclusive working environment for everyone. He is a true ally in the menopause space and we are truly grateful for all the work he does.

Poor sleep is one of the most common complaints of women during perimenopause and menopause.

A 2015, survey conducted by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that sleep problems increased significantly for women aged 40-59 years, who were experiencing perimenopause. The key data from the survey showed:

• 56% of women slept less than 7 hours a night

• 24.8% of women said they had trouble falling asleep 4 or more times in a week

• 30.8% of women said they had trouble staying asleep at least 4 nights a week

• 49.9% of women wake in the morning feeling tired, rather than rested, 4 or more days in a week

Today, Lisa provides insight into why sleep gets disrupted during the menopause transition and offers some nutrition and lifestyle tips to support a good night's sleep.

Today, Lisa chats with Master Ruth Lee, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner and Dr Rebecca Lau, a medical Doctor on the benefits of TCM vs HRT and if they can compliment each other.
