In this episode, Catriona Williams is joined by GP and menopause specialist Dr Jackie Radley to discuss menopause management both with and without HRT.

They explore why many women seek HRT, why some cannot take it for medical reasons, and why others prefer not to use hormones. The conversation looks at how menopause symptoms can overlap with long-term and chronic health conditions, sometimes making symptoms harder to identify.

Dr Radley also outlines non-hormonal options that may help with symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, sleep problems, and mood changes, alongside the role of lifestyle changes in supporting long-term health after menopause.

Key themes include:

• Menopause symptoms and decision-making around HRT
• When HRT may not be suitable or preferred
• Non-hormonal prescription options and their uses
• Lifestyle approaches to support symptoms and long-term health
• Understanding menopause alongside chronic conditions
