Today I talk a lot about my free balance app. And I've got with me, Matt Jones, who's a managing

director of balance. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge which he's really bringing to

shape and change balance so that it's not just a menopausal app. It's an app for all women. So

women can be empowered with information that's relevant to them so that they can get the right

treatment hopefully from their healthcare provider wherever they live. We talk about how

balance is already shaping the future for a lot of women and how it's really helped them

and the plans that we have, some of them quite ambitious going forwards.

So Matt, really great that you're here.

I want to talk about balance app because I haven't really spoken about it on a podcast for a long time.

And when people, not always,

but when they sort of recognise me or stop me in the streets,

it's very humbling because they normally thank me for the work I do, but it's usually either the podcast or balance.

And they're the two things that I'm the most proud of actually.

Like obviously I'm proud of being a doctor. I'm proud of being a mother.

But, you know, my mission is to give people as much information as possible in ways that they understand so they can be empowered and make choices about their health.

So the last bit, making choices about their health, I feel it's up to them, not up to me as a doctor.

I'm not a dictator. I'm not patriarchal. It's about people being able to choose. So balance is a really, really important part of my work.

And the last year or so, I've sort of been babysitting it

because there's been all sorts of things going on.

But I set it up a few years ago.

It's had most phenomenal feedback and global reach.

So you're the managing director of balance.
