This podcast features a Q&A session with Professor Susan Davis, a clinical endocrinologist, on menopause. The episode begins with positive listener feedback on a previous episode, then addresses listener questions about menopause symptoms, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), alternative treatments, and related health concerns like bone density and weight management. Professor Davis clarifies misconceptions surrounding HRT, the Dutch test, and the impact of birth control on fertility. A key takeaway is that while weight gain is often associated with menopause, it's primarily age-related and lifestyle-driven, not solely hormonal. Listeners gain practical advice on managing menopausal symptoms and making informed decisions about their healthcare.
