Join hosts Doctor Xand van Tulleken and Dr Rochelle Burgess for Season 3, Episode 4 of Public Health Disrupted with Prof Joyce Harper and Rachel Lankester.

DESCRIPTION

鈥淲e鈥檙e more valuable to our communities post-menopause as leaders than as breeders.鈥�

How does our society value menopausal women? The lack of public awareness around this natural phase in a women鈥檚 life has resulted in the menopause being associated with a lot of shame, and a whole bunch of negative misconceptions.

In this thought-provoking episode, Joyce Harper (Professor of Reproductive Science at the 香港六合彩中特网 Institute for Women鈥檚 Health) and Rachel Lankester (author of Magnificent Midlife) challenge the prevailing negative narrative surrounding the menopause by debunking common myths, and revealing the surprising beneficial rewards that await women post-menopause. Plus, what can we learn from the whales?
