This episode is long overdue—it’s what I affectionately refer to as the Menopause Episode. While it’s undoubtedly valuable for women, it’s equally essential for men. After all, men have important women in their lives, and understanding menopause can benefit everyone.

She has worked as a clinical nurse specialist in sexual and reproductive health, as well as an educator and manager in family planning. Jane holds a Master of Science in Medicine with a focus on reproductive health and a PhD in Public Health. Jane blends her orthodox medicine background with naturopathy training, allowing her to address menopause from both conventional and holistic angles.
We talk about:
Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause Estrogen's role in menopause and alcohol How alcohol effects menopause -
