Today I'm talking with Loretta Dignam, founder of the world's first menopause clinic. Following a bewildering and disappointing experience when menopause hit, Loretta realised that she was not alone in having little clarity about what menopause entailed, what symptoms can/should be treated and how, or which parts of this under-discussed experience women just have to suck up. Having started her research in her front room, she went on to discover that hundreds of the women she met had little reliable information on it. Not only that, a whole generation of health care professionals had been misled on the benefits and risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).  In this very frank chat, Loretta fills us in on her personal experiences along with her groundbreaking work to champion access to informed menopause treatment.
