Why You Need To Be Menopause Informed with Katie Taylor

 

Do you ever wonder why there's so much talk of HRT these days?  

A few weeks ago I posted a reel at my distain for the amount of HRT 'pushing' I was seeing on social media  but after my conversation with Katie Taylor, now I know why that is. 

It's because the pendulum needed to swing so far the other way.

The immense fear of HRT caused by the flawed WHI study meant that women's medical health has been paralysed.  And the force with which my guest (and others in her field) have had to fight, has literally swung the pendulum the other way.  

Go them!  It needed to happen to mobilise women's health care.  

My guest today, Katie Taylor, is a fighting spirit among the campaigning community to make menopause matter.  She's the CEO of the Latte Lounge (a free Facebook community and low cost private membership) and the organiser of The Midlife Festival.  

In our conversation today we covered:

Changing Your Mind With Hypnotherapy

 

If you want a therapy that works, try hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy is becoming one of the worlds most sought after therapies because of its ability to work deep into our conditioning and affect change very quickly.

I call it a no nonsense therapy.  It gets right in there and right out again. 

In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking to a fellow hypnotherapist about the profound work we do.  

Sonia Samtani is CEO of the All About You wellness centre in Hong Kong, she's 2 x TEDX speaker, published author and NLP trainer (and of course, she's a very busy hypnotherapist).

Conclusions that we come to about ourselves based on the messages we received.
 The importance of asking why [why = wisdom].
 Identifying the triggers that result in a cascade of negative thinking.
 The difference between regression therapy and suggestion placement therapy.

Thriving Through Menopause with Beth Wright

 

How do we become resilient to the challenges of menopause?  Do we do nothing and let it overtake us or do we actively participate to become more adapted to this challenging phase of our lives?

The Changing Landscape of Women's Health with Kath Berry

 

Controlling how you decide to show up in the patriarchal world as a menopausal woman, is really up to you.

You do know that YOU get to decide don't you?  In some countries, that choice is taken away, so if you DO have the choice, honour it and use it wisely.  

Want to stick to bedroom activism instead?  I'm right there with you.
 Want to wear oversized prints, enormous earrings and red lipstick?  Do it.
 Want to have casual sex with someone younger?  Try it.  
 What to just sleep all day this Sunday?  Do it.

This life changing conversation with Kath Berry put some fire back in my belly and I did not expect this conversation to end up where it did!  

Kath Berry is an Acupuncture Educator with over 25 years of clinical experience.  She also has a Masters Degree in Drug and Alcohol Addiction Medicine and is now the co-author of a text book called Menopause: A Comprehensive Guide for Practitioners.
