And even for those who do, it doesn’t always fix everything.  So, what else can help with hot flushes, brain fog, insomnia, joint pain, or the emotional rollercoaster? This week we’re joined by the brilliant  Hazel Hayden  from Bristol Menopause and Well-woman Clinic, she’s Consultant Nurse, British Menopause Society Registered Specialist, CBT therapist, Insomnia therapy specialist, nutritionist, and speaker. Hazel takes a holistic approach to menopause, exploring everything from sleep and mental health to cardiovascular care and nutrition. Whether you’re navigating menopause without HRT, using it but still struggling, or simply looking for more options—this conversation is for you.
