    Final episode…for now

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

    In this episode, we are announcing a hiatus from our podcast after three and a half years of weekly episodes.

    We discuss the valuable conversations and impactful guest interviews that have defined our show. We highlight the reasons we started the podcast, namely addressing the lack of positive information about menopause, and celebrate the community and education that has emerged as a result.

    We share our personal growth through this experience and our continued commitment to women's health education. Finally, we encourage our listeners to stay connected via other platforms and thank them for their support, emphasising that this is a pause rather than a permanent goodbye.

    Key Discussion Points

    • Reflecting on our incredible journey with the podcast
    • Our most memorable episodes and the people we have met, and
    • Why unapologetic self-care is still the most important strategy in women’s health.

    The journey through ego and life transitions, with Unna Goldsworthy

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

    In this episode, we are chatting with Unna Goldsworthy, an exercise physiologist and acceptance and commitment therapy expert.

    Unna shares her insights on supporting people through life's transitions, and her passion for helping individuals rebuild their best versions of themselves and their ego during difficult times.

    In this conversation, she discusses the concept of 'scaffolding' to describe the adaptable support systems required for mental, physical, and emotional transitions, particularly during perimenopause. She also explores the condition Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), its symptoms, and challenges around diagnosis.

    Additionally, Unna provides expert advice on modifying exercise routines to better support women during perimenopause, emphasising the importance of energy-generating activities. She stresses the need for individualised care and being attentive to one's body signals and needs.

    You can connect with Unna via her Unna Movement website and Instagram.

    Key Discussion Points

    • How Menopause is more than a physical transition
    • POTS and its symptoms and support options, and
    • How women can shift their approach to movement.

    That time we convinced our podcast producer to wear the MenoVest…

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

    In this episode, our podcast producer, Rob Flude, got to wear and experience the MenoVest. It’s taken some months, but Rob also agreed to come on the show and record a live episode and discuss menopause, something that wasn’t on his 2025 bingo card, but he embraced it nonetheless.

    We not only gave Rob the MenoVest experience, but we gave him an insight into one of the most impactful and common symptoms - hot flushes - and opened up his awareness as to the cognitive, emotional and mental impact of menopause.

    We also gave Rob the space to ask us some questions without fear of judgement, and we are sure you will enjoy this discussion as much as we enjoyed recording it.

    Key Discussion Points

    • A man’s understanding of menopause through the MenoVest experience
    • The physical and emotional impact of menopause
    • How hot flushes can be debilitating and disruptive to an average person’s day, and
    • The importance of education and empathy in building a life of co-existence between men and women.

    Balancing heavy menstrual bleeding and quality of life, with Dr Talat Uppal

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

    In this episode, we are chatting with Dr Talat Uppal of Women’s Health Road to discuss women's health, focusing on heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).

    We reveal some shocking statistics on HMB prevalence and how it impacts the quality of life for many women. Dr. Talat provides a comprehensive definition of HMB, highlights red flags and common misconceptions about period experiences, and explains how society and familial norms can perpetuate the normalisation of severe symptoms.

    She outlines the varied causes and symptoms, particularly during perimenopause, and stresses the importance of individualised diagnosis and treatment plans. Dr. Talat also discusses the various treatment options, ranging from medications and intrauterine devices (like a mirena) to surgical procedures, and emphasises the need for women to be proactive about their health.

    The episode features insights into Dr. Talat's not--for-profit, 'Bleed Better', and its efforts in raising awareness through the International Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Day. We encourage you to connect with these resources to better manage your health journey.

    Key Discussion Points

    • Understanding Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
    • Quality of life and heavy periods, and
    • Causes, diagnosis and treatment of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding.

    In the first episode of Perimenopause Power for 2025, we reconvene after our much-needed refreshing January break and discuss our key theme for this year: the importance of unapologetic self-care for women.

    Our conversation touches on navigating various life phases, the importance of prioritising personal health and well-being, and the enlightening The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins.

    Key Discussion Points

    • Overcoming year-end exhaustion

    Shifting conversations in society and workplaces, with Melanie White

    Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.

    In this episode, we are chatting with Melanie White again, who appeared in Episode 88 of the podcast. 

    Melanie is a passionate advocate for women’s health and wellbeing, dedicated to elevating the lives of women through compassion, connection, and collaboration. With a mission to transform how women experience and navigate their health journeys, Melanie focuses on driving better health, social, and economic outcomes for women at every stage of life.

    As peers and colleagues in the menopause space, we share a commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding women’s health and empowering women with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to thrive.

    And so, for today’s episode we thought we’d have a chat about what we have seen and experienced this year.

    Key Discussion Points

    • COVID catalysed health and relationship awareness, with growing discussions around women's health issues like menopause and endometriosis.

    • Generational shifts and innovations like apps, wearable tools, and workplace initiatives are empowering women to demand change, leading to more open conversations, empathy and activism around menopause.

    • Overcoming dismissal in healthcare, with women often facing limited access to HRT and insufficient guidance on lifestyle changes, and

    • Younger generations are valuing employers who prioritise health and well-being alongside financial benefits.

     

    THE MENOVEST

    In partnership with Over The Bloody Moon, we have recently launched the MenoVest in Australia. Its Founder, Lesley Salem, was our guest on the podcast in Episode 135.

    You can find out more information about the MenoVest on our website.

    We also appeared on Channel 9 on The Today Show with Karl Stevanovic and Sarah Abo, where Karl wore the MenoVest on LIVE TV! Check the video out on YouTube.

    With a background in clinical pharmacy and medicinal cannabis, Lisa has played a key role in pioneering Australia's corporate cannabis landscape.

    Her work with major companies like Medilab, Clinical and Canopy Growth involved navigating complex regulatory prescribing processes for doctors in various therapeutic areas.

    In 2020, Lisa founded Astrid with the goal of destigmatising cannabis and providing patient-focused care. Since then, Astrid has grown into a leading multi-award-winning dispensary, recognised for its innovative approach and commitment to patient care.

    Lisa is also a passionate advocate for cannabinoid education, collaborating with organisations like the Pharmacy Guild and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. Her expertise extends to research, advising on projects related to cannabinoid data safety monitoring and endometriosis clinical research.
