She is part of the National Women’s Health Advisory Council and the Women’s Health Products Working Group at Australia’s Medicines Regulator. She’s an honorary research fellow at Melbourne University and still an active researcher.

We talk about: - Sarah’s career journey  - The importance of accurate and accessible health information - Who Dr Jean Hailes was - The first rigorous survey on how menopause affects Australian women - How menopause data is being manipulated and why - The impact of industry influence on women’s health - Reframing menopause from a strengths-based approach - Combating gendered ageism - The influence of marketing and misinformation - The pressure to maintain a youthful appearance - The commercial drivers behind the promotion of HRT - Questioning what’s being said, by whom and why - Considering lifestyle changes in the menopause toolbox - Research on public health priorities and health inequities And more!
