QED rewatch: Hot Women in Your Area (2023)

Published 22 July 2024 at 10:23

Menopause seems to be receiving more attention now than ever before, which is undoubtedly a good thing given that lots of women are simply not prepared for the myriad of symptoms they can experience (clue: it’s not just about hot flushes). With that welcome attention comes, inevitably, a multitude of proposed solutions promoted by the ever-growing wellness industry.

How can women - and the people in their lives - wade through all the good and bad advice they are given, make sense of the myths around solutions like HRT, and put into context the increased risks of conditions like breast cancer and dementia?

This panel from QED 2023 tackled these issues, looking at what works, what doesn't, and why it's in everyone' interest to take note. Featuring Dr Clio Bellenis, Anita Powell, and Nicola Throp.

Tickets for QED 2024 are available now, priced £164 for the weekend, or just £45 for the live stream.
