Ep 96 - The Mind in Transition: Understanding Menopause Mental Health

Welcome to "The Mind in Transition," where I explore the psychological landscape of menopause with evidence-based insights and practical solutions. Today we're diving deep into one of the most significant yet under-discussed aspects of women's health: the mental health impact of menopause transition.Did you know that menopause affects approximately 13 million women in the UK at any given time? Yet despite this massive number, research shows that 90% of employers offer no menopause support, leaving women to navigate this crucial life transition largely alone. Today, we're changing that narrative.We'll explore the latest NHS statistics, examine current UK and Northern Ireland research, and most importantly, provide you with concrete, science-backed solutions combining nutrition, psychology, and lifestyle approaches. Whether you're experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and tools to thrive during this transition.You can work with me on a 1:1 basis at the Women's Health Hub at Kingsbridge Belfast, where I hold clinics on alternate Wednesdays. I support women going through menopause transition to make lasting changes in nutrition, mood, mindset, confidence, sleep disturbance, anxiety, identity issues, lifestyle changes.Areas I specialise in: weight loss, healthy eating, sleep hygiene, stress reduction, confidence, fatigue, anxiety and low mood.Check out my information page here https://kingsbridgeprivatehospital.com/consultants/ms-sarah-lacey
