Show Notes

Most of us have heard about certain herbs which can help with menopause symptoms and many of them can be bought over the counter but it can be a bit of minefield.  Do they actually work?  Which ones are the most helpful? And do they actually contain what they say they do on the label? 

So I was super excited to chat to this week's guest, Melinda McDougall, a registered Medical Herbalist who is passionate about helping women have a healthy, happy menopause.  

Her holistic approach is a fantastic alternative to HRT, although she can also help women who are taking HRT.

Melinda holds a Master of Science degree in herbal medicine and specialises in women’s health.  She has analysed hundreds of research papers on herbal medicine and menopause to find out what really works and uses that knowledge in her busy clinic to help women find natural solutions to their health problems.
