| 0:00.0 | This episode of Offair is sponsored by Tenor. Let's talk about something that affects so many of us, |
| 0:06.0 | but we don't always feel comfortable discussing, menopause. And that's why Tenor is partnering with us to spark open and empowering conversations on the topic. |
| 0:16.0 | They want to help normalise the conversation, reduce the stigma and drive real change for women's health |
| 0:22.0 | and well-being during menopause. That's right, Jane Tenor is committed to supporting |
| 0:26.3 | menopausal women by elevating their well-being and their proud partners of Gen M, an organisation |
| 0:32.6 | working to normalise menopause conversations and drive systemic change. And part of that is helping women rethink bladder weakness, |
| 0:40.3 | seeing it not as a limitation, |
| 0:42.4 | but as something they can manage confidently and proactively. |

| 1:23.2 | out Boots pharmacists can diagnose and help with loads of common conditions, things like sinusitis, |
| 1:29.2 | UTIs, earache. |
| 1:30.8 | And with over a thousand boot stores across the UK, many open late and at weekends, you're |
| 1:36.3 | never too far with no appointment needed. |
| 1:39.1 | Honestly, I didn't realise how much they could do until now. |
| 1:42.4 | We're going to be joined by a boots pharmacist on the podcast. |
| 1:45.6 | They'll be answering some of our own health questions. Good luck with that. The list is long. |
