Menopause: What Women AND Men Need to Know | Niki Bezzant

Menopause can affect sleep, mood, memory, weight, relationships, sex and how women feel in their own bodies. So why is there still so much confusion about it?

In this episode of Forkin' Good, Simon Gault and Kate Fenwick sit down with author and health journalist Niki Bezzant for a refreshingly straightforward conversation about menopause and perimenopause.

Niki helps separate good science from the enormous amount of menopause misinformation online and talks about HRT, sleep, alcohol, weight gain, strength training, brain fog and the changes women can experience through midlife.

But this isn't just a conversation for women.

They also talk about what partners need to understand, how menopause can affect relationships and intimacy, why communication matters, and what men can actually do to support the women in their lives.

Most importantly, Niki explains why menopause doesn't need to be viewed as a catastrophe or the end of something. It can also be a transition into a powerful new stage of life.
