Alice Smellie, an influential health and beauty journalist and co-author of Cracking the Menopause, joins me for a conversation on her transformative journey from journalism to menopause advocacy.
We explore the multifaceted realities of menopause, breaking down societal stigmas and misconceptions, especially when it comes to dating and ageing. Alice shares personal anecdotes about the mental health impacts and misdiagnoses often associated with perimenopause.
Alice opens up about navigating the complex decisions surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer. Sharing her own and others' experiences with HRT, chemotherapy, and the emotional hurdles faced, she emphasises the importance of understanding the minimal risk of HRT for breast cancer.
