  • Can’t remember the word for windowsill? Inferno raging in you? Screaming into a sweat soaked pillow? But the Menopause? Can’t be…can it!?


    Your image of a Menopausal women just isn’t you right? Turns out, it isn’t any of us! We’re vibrant, funny women who happen to be going through a bit of a crappy time but we don’t have to suffer in silence anymore. The more we share, the more we see we’re all in this together and we can laugh our way through it and out the other side! 


    I'm India Fisher and I knew nothing about what was happening to me when my symptoms first hit. So I'm on a mission to change that. I’m going to chat to women like you about what they're going through, to Dr Katie our Menopause Specialist and to experts in all aspects of our Menopausal lives. I'll also be chatting to my "Orcas", inspirational women in the public eye who are bucking the traditional image of what it is to be a woman at this stage of life and proving that life out the other side is worth celebrating.


    We want answers and we’ll get them, but what we need is each other. I can’t guarantee listening to this Pod will help you remember your child’s middle name or stop a hot flush. But it might take your mind off the fact that you can’t! Oh yeah, and I’ll explain the Orca thing.

  • Season 1 Roundup

    Season 1 Roundup
    2023/12/20

    This is the last episode in this season, it's hard to believe we've done 25 episodes, but here we are.


    So I thought I’d wrap things up as I began back in February by telling you a bit about me and where I’m at in my menopause journey and what I've learnt along the way by talking to the amazing, vibrant , funny women I've had on the Pod, the wonderful Dr Katie and all my other brilliant experts.


    I've upped my movement, concentrated on what and how I eat and tweaked my HRT. Obviously each of our Menopause journeys are as unique as we are and this is just a snap shot of mine (so far!). I know it isn't over, it's a marathon not a sprint and sometimes it feels like a daily uphill struggle. But thanks to making this Pod and gaining the understanding of what's happening to me and what I can do to help myself, I am in a far better place than I was a year ago. I hope listening has helped you to.


    See you back here for Season 2.

    In this episode I’m talking to my 5th inspirational Orca - Kate Muir, creator and producer of the “Davina Documentaries” for Channel 4 and author of the incredible book “Everything you wanted to know about the Menopause but were afraid to ask”. 


    Kate as you can imagine, doesn’t shy away from tackling the big stuff, our chat ranges from HRT and whether we need Testosterone, the racial and socio-economic injustice and misogyny that’s rife in medicine, to the glorious reboot menopause can and should be.


    She’s just so knowledgeable and passionate about the menopause, I adored chatting to her. She's a force to be reckoned with that isn't done with the fight yet. Thank god for us all we have people like her in our corners.

    Meet Optometrist Harps Kular - we're talking eye health and how our fluctuating hormones can affect our eyes during Menopause
    2023/11/22

    In this episode I’m talking eye health with optometrist Harps Kular and how our fluctuating hormones can affect our eyes. She’s seen a huge rise in the number of menopausal women coming to her with dry eye (which surprisingly isn’t what you’d think) and how her own struggles with perimenopause and not being taken seriously by her GP, has allowed her to really connect with her patients and give them the space to be heard about their menopausal symptoms.
