During the mid-twentieth century, menopause was touted as a severe disease that destroyed women’s femininity and was a burden to their husbands. Thankfully, today we recognise menopause as a natural part of ageing and conversations about it are happening more and more.

In this episode, we have four special guests:
Niki Bezzant: award-winning writer, author, journalist and media personality from New Zealand who has written the book ‘This Changes Everything: the Honest Guide to Menopause and Perimenopause’.
 Dr Carmel Reynolds: General practitioner and SA/NT board member on the Australian Menopause Society
Dr Angelique Swart: Obstetrician & Gynaecologist with an interest in post-menopausal bleeding
Dr Ashley Winter: Urologist and Sexual health specialist

Welcome to the This Medical Life podcast. Our mission is to share stories about the triumphs and tragedies of diseases and illnesses from ancient times up until what we know today. It is about those scientific and medical minds who came before us and how, every single day, we stand on the shoulders of giants. This is a podcast about the stories of medicine.


Hosted by Dr. Travis Brown and Steve Davis, our target audience is General Practitioners, medical students, and other health professionals. We hope to educate, inspire and celebrate those who choose to care for others in their profession. From experience, we know that our audience extends beyond these fields and would like to welcome anyone to listen. The stories of those who came before us are nothing short of remarkable and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
