October 18th is World Menopause Day, raising awareness of the challenges, treatments and support available to women approaching or experiencing the menopause.
Christy caught up with two experts in the field: Dr Ella Russell, a highly experienced Private GP with specialist expertise in menopausal and peri-menopausal health and Dr Paula Briggs, Chair Elect of the British Menopause Society. Both shared excellent advice and discussed various treatments, groups, online applications and personal approaches that could make that menopause that bit more manageable.
You can find more information from and about Dr Russell on her website here, and you can find the Women's Health Concern site that Dr Briggs mentions on the British Menopause Society pages here
