The number of menopausal women is expected to reach 1.1 billion by 2025. Whilst virtually every woman will go through menopause, it remains a hushed subject, a taboo, that in many countries sees women suffering in silence. Out of the 48 symptoms named in the Invisibility Report 51% of women can only name 3.
Woman often start to feel the symptoms in their 40s, when at the peak of their careers. In the UK, one in four women will experience severe debilitating symptoms from menopause. In the USA, 73% of women don't treat their symptoms.
This week, I speak with Mandy Preece who shares her experiences of living with menopause for the past 7 years. It's an insightful conversation as Mandy talks about the ups and downs....yes there are some ups! :) Mandy is proof that you can live the s**t and start to come out the other side still smiling.
