Please note that in this episode we talk a lot about the importance of being vocal with local politicians so that they can take your concerns to the Prime Minister on your behalf. We want to remind you that this applies to many issues - some happening locally - like the one we discuss in this episode, and some happening internationally.
If you feel passionately, for example, about a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, you can write to your MPs about that. If you'd like to see your tax dollars go to a specific cause, you can write to your MPs about that too.
We are lucky to live in a democracy. Let's not forget that it's our responsibility and our civic duty to communicate our desires and concerns to the people we elected.

Our guest Dr. Sue Ross is a professor and research scientist from the Alberta Women's Health Foundation who offers a common sense, age positive, and more-often-than-not drug-free approach to menopause and aging well. In this conversation, she tells us what she's observed in those who cope best with the symptoms of menopause and shares some advice based on her findings. Namely:
1) Create a community. Even 1 buddy is enough! Accept this as just another chapter in your life during which you're going to want to be surrounded by some solid lady-friends who know what's up - just like early motherhood. 2) Get walking (if you're able). Even just 15 minutes a day. But make it a habit to get yourself some fresh air. Breath and movement are always the answer. 3) Figure out exactly what's bothering you about the experience of menopause. Is it physical symptoms? Mental symptoms? Everyone is different. Deeply considering your own unique experience will help direct you to the help you actually need.
