Beyond the basics: Menopause & Andropause

Today we share an episode shot in front of our first Live audience at our ‘Myths from Below Yonder’ event. I’m joined by a panel of amazing experts for a holistic discussion on Menopause and Andropause, set in our African context. Menopause is currently a hot topic globally, more-so as many Millenials enter this season of transition in their lives. We are quickly realising just how little those who went through it before us actually understood or were able to share with us. In addition, and with the aim of inclusion, we also take a deep dive into Andropause, often loosely referred to as “the male menopause”. We delve into hormones and their effect on the signs and symptoms you may be experiencing; into nutrition and fitness, specifically the important role of strength training during this challenging time, and finally, everyone’s favourite segment; plastics and aesthetic surgery. We discuss everything you need to know about procedures especially relevant to this age group, What is available locally and how to best and safely find your most suitable option and providers.
