Summary

Kate Muir’s name might not ring any immediate bells, but her documentaries with Davina McCall about the perimenopause, menopause and HRT made quite the stir. And rightly so, given they busted myths around HRT that have been stopping women asking for it for decades. Mick got on the Zoom with the women’s health campaigner, documentary maker, journalist and author to talk about the menopause movement, healthcare’s reluctance to keep up, the ridiculous idea that middle age is boring, and Kate’s latest book, How to Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis.
