In this WKC Spill The Tea episode, we’re joined by the extraordinary Fiona Clark, award-winning journalist, women’s health advocate, and author of MenoWars.
Fiona brings fire, humour and expertise to the menopause landscape which has become muddied with commercialism and mis-information.
Fiona’s career spans continents and causes- from reporting in Moscow on the collapse of the Soviet Union, to writing for The Lancet, and now to tackling menopause- one of the most misunderstood and politicised topics in women’s health.
We chat about:
💬 The booming menopause “industry” - hype, divides & money
📊 Research shocks and revelations from MenoWars
🤝 Keeping focus on women’s health, not profit
💡 The mission of the Menopause Research & Education Fund
✨ And what she’d change about the menopause conversation worldwide
We also have a Menopause Book Club for you where we take a look at brand new menopause books released by experts.
Stick around for a beautiful quote to carry you through the week. 💫
☕ SUBSCRIBE for more shenanigans, honest chats on feminist issues, women’s health, sisterhood, and smashing the patriarchy — one cuppa at a time.
