The Menopause Revolution - Navigating Hormonal Changes, Lifestyle Factors and Relationship Dynamics

The Menopause Revolution - Navigating Hormonal Changes, Lifestyle Factors and Relationship Dynamics

Author: freyagraf October 30, 2023 Duration: 1:29:36

This week in The Labia Lounge, to celebrate #menopauseawarenessmonth , I invited Joanna McMeikan back to chat about peri-menopause and menopause from her Chinese med and women's health expert perspective.

In previous episodes on menopause we've covered a great foundation of knowledge and perspectives around this topic, but this time we focused on the physiological and lifestyle factors involved in whether you have a super challenging time, or coast through menopause.

We also give some practical strategies and tips to help you navigate this transition and new phase of life, and Joanna shares her wealth of knowledge with us so generously you're head will be buzzing with new info and ideas about how to traverse menopause.


My previous episodes about menopause are highly recommended as "required reading" before you dive into this one, as we mention on the podcast, so you can find them by scrolling back to these episode titles on whatever podcast platform you listen on!


  • 'Menopause – A Misunderstood Mystery' with Jane Hardwicke Collings
  • 'Your Sex Life Isn't Over Once You Hit Menopause' with Heidi True


In this eppy we also mention a faaaaab episode that's highly relevant when it comes to libido, in or out of menopause, and that one is called:

  • 'Let's Talk Libido with Female Libido Specialist Elena Rossi'
