With two-thirds of us overweight or obese, and all of us ladies facing the menopause at some stage, the double whammy of weight-loss struggles and menopausal woes is going to face the majority of us.

I ran this course a few weeks ago and the feedback was so positive I have arranged more dates.

Symptoms of perimenopause such as severe bleeding, memory loss and anxiety can give rise to a section 6 Equality Act disability provided the symptoms have a long-term and substantial adverse effect on normal day-to day-activities.

One of my patients has shared her own menopause story with the hope that it will shine a light on a natural part of ageing that all women will experience, but do not always know much about.

Dr Rebecca Lewis is a GP with an interest in the menopause. She is also a great friend. She has recently starting seeing some of my patients in Stratford-upon-Avon.

It was a real honour to be invited by the fabulous gardener Sarah Raven to co-host an event at Perch Hill Farm with Liz Earle to celebrate her excellent new book, The Good Menopause Guide, which I have helped with the content.

My business manager, Sarah Davies, and Lynda Bailey, who set up the menopause group in West Midlands Police, have recently developed Talking Menopause.

My clinic is fully booked for six months which is not ideal at all! I am working hard to open a Menopause and Wellbeing Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon in early summer and I have a fantastic team of very inspirational people working with me.

In this episode of Wellness with Liz Earle, I help to dispel some more myths about HRT and talk about the importance of individualised care for menopausal women. Listen in as we share updates on some menopause treatments and answer some of  commonly asked questions.

I ask all the women I see in my clinic to complete this questionnaire before I see them. There are so many different symptoms of the menopause and many are still often not attributed to the menopause.
