BONUS: Menopause Part 2: Treatments, Recovery, and Expert Guidance with Sharon Best

In Part 2 of our menopause series, we sit down with our expert menopause guru, Sharon Best, to explore all things treatment and recovery. This episode dives into the barriers many women face when accessing menopause care, what factors to consider when choosing treatments, and the wide range of available options.

Sharon also shares practical guidance on how to have informed, confident conversations with your GP, helping you advocate for your health and make choices that support your wellbeing. We discuss not only medical treatments but also strategies to support mood, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life during menopause.

Whether you’re currently navigating menopause or supporting someone who is, this episode provides actionable insights, expert advice, and confidence-building tools. Sharon’s combination of clinical expertise, real-world experience, and passion for supporting women makes this a must-listen episode for anyone wanting to understand treatment options and recovery strategies.
