| Menopause and Chronic Pain: Why It Hurts and What Helps | Dr Clare Spencer | EP 108 | 12 Oct 2026 | 00:31:28 | |
Is pain part of your menopause story? In this episode, recorded live as a Henpicked Lunch & Learn session, Deborah Garlick is joined by Dr Clare Spencer, a doctor who works in menopause clinics, to talk about menopause and chronic pain: how hormonal change affects the way we feel pain, and what we can do about it. It's also the theme of this year's World Menopause Day. Together, we explore:
Clare is clear that pain in midlife is real, that menopause can start it, worsen it or overlap with it, and that HRT may help but is rarely the only answer. What we still don't know, such as whether menopause directly causes frozen shoulder, she says plainly. Her take home message: look after yourself, keep moving, and do what is right for you. Whether you're living with aches you can't explain, managing a condition that has got worse, or simply want to understand what's happening in your body, this conversation is essential listening.

| 400+ Periods in One Working Life: How to Be a Menstruation Friendly Employer | EP 107 | 28 Sep 2026 | 01:00:56 | |
Would the people in your organisation feel able to say they're struggling with their period at work? In this episode, recorded live as a Henpicked webinar, Deborah Garlick is joined by her co-founder Sally Leech to talk about becoming a menstruation friendly employer. They cover why menstrual health matters at work, what gets in the way of talking about it, what employees are actually asking for, and the practical steps organisations can take right now. Together, we explore:
Deborah and Sally are clear that this isn't a tick box exercise, and support doesn't need to be complicated or expensive. Most people aren't asking for special treatment. They want to be heard, believed and given simple, practical support so they can do their best work. The question they come back to again and again is: what's getting in the way of you being your best at work, and what can we do to help? Their advice to employers is to say what you do, do what you say, and keep listening. Whether you're an HR or wellbeing lead building a business case, a manager worried about saying the wrong thing, or you simply want to understand what menstrual health really means at work, this conversation is essential listening.

| PCOS Has a New Name: What P-MOS Means for Your Health | Dr Emma Sloan | Ep 106 | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:32:24 | |
Have you ever been told to just go away and lose weight, without anyone explaining why your body wasn't responding the way it should? In this episode, recorded live as a Henpicked Lunch & Learn session, Sally Leech is joined by Dr Emma Sloan, menopause specialist at Dr Morton's Women's Health Service, to talk about the recent renaming of PCOS to P-MOS (poly endocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome): what actually changed, why it took 14 years, and what it means for diagnosis and treatment going forward. Together, we explore:
Dr Emma is candid about how much has been misunderstood about this condition for decades, and just as clear about what's changing, earlier diagnosis, more personalised treatment, and less of a one size fits all approach. Her message throughout is that no two women experience P-MOS the same way, and understanding that is the first step to getting the right support. Whether you've been living with a PCOS or P-MOS diagnosis for years, wonder if it might explain your own symptoms, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is essential listening.

| 1 in 4 Women Will Have Early Menopause: Here's What No One Tells You | Dr Radhika Vohra | EP 105 | 23 Aug 2026 | 00:36:04 | |
Have you ever had a menopause symptom for years before anyone — including you — realised that's what it was? In this episode, recorded live as a Henpicked Lunch & Learn session, Sally Bromley is joined by Dr Radhika Vohra, NHS and private GP, menopause specialist, and trustee and medical adviser at The Menopause Charity, to talk about early menopause: what it actually is, why it's so often missed, and what to do about it. Together, we explore:
Dr Radhika Vohra is candid about how much of this is still unknown, and just as clear about what is: that the vast majority of women are safe to take HRT, that the benefits usually outweigh the risks, and that too many women are still being turned away. Her message throughout is simple, learn your own norm, don't be afraid to keep asking, and be your own advocate. Whether you're navigating early menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand your own body better, this conversation is essential listening.

| Menopause, mental health and brain fog explained | Dr Shahzadi Harper | EP 104 | 10 Aug 2026 | 00:34:42 | |
Have you ever stood up to speak and had your mind go completely blank? Brain fog is one of the most common, and most misunderstood, symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, and it can chip away at your confidence more than almost any other symptom. In this episode, pulled from the archives because it's one of our best loved sessions, recorded five years ago but just as relevant today, Deborah Garlick is joined by Dr Shahzadi Harper to talk about menopause, mental health and brain fog. Together, we explore:
Dr Shahzadi Harper explains what is actually happening in the brain during perimenopause and menopause, why psychological symptoms often show up before the physical ones, and what genuinely helps, from lifestyle changes to HRT to simply talking about it more openly. Deborah shares her own experience with characteristic honesty, proof that even when you know exactly what's happening, brain fog can still catch you off guard. Whether you're navigating brain fog yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone, and that it's worth talking about. | |||
| Living with Menopause after Cancer | Dani Binnington & Rachel Bowman | EP 103 | 27 Jul 2026 | 00:32:58 | |
Cancer treatment can bring on menopause suddenly — sometimes within 48 hours, and often without warning. In this episode, originally recorded as a Henpicked Lunch and Learn a couple of years ago, Deborah Garlick is joined by Dani Binnington, founder, and Rachel Bowman, director, of Menopause and Cancer, the UK charity supporting people whose menopause has been triggered or accelerated by cancer treatment. Together, we explore:
Dani and Rachel share their own experiences of chemotherapy-induced and surgical menopause, and explain why the estimated 186,000 people diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year can face menopause symptoms with little warning and even less support. They talk through the gap between oncology and GP care, why treatment options like HRT are so often left unexplained, and what employers and line managers can do to better support colleagues navigating a cancer diagnosis and menopause at the same time. Whether you're supporting a colleague, a family member, or going through this yourself, this conversation is a reminder that no one should have to face a cancer-induced menopause alone.

| More Than Periods: The Lifestyle Medicine Approach to Menstrual Health | Sally Leech | EP 102 | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:32:49 | |
What is lifestyle medicine — and how can it support your menstrual health? In this Lunch & Learn session, Handpicked's Deborah Garlick sits down with Handpicked director Sally Leach to open up a wide-ranging conversation about lifestyle medicine and its role in menstrual health — from everyday cycle symptoms through to serious conditions like PMDD, endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and PCOS. Our hormones interact with nearly every system in the body — metabolism, inflammation, brain chemistry, sleep, gut health and emotional wellbeing — yet menstrual health is still routinely dismissed as "just periods." Sally is clear that lifestyle medicine is never a replacement for medical care, but that the two working together, alongside self-awareness and symptom tracking, can meaningfully improve quality of life. Together, we explore:
Menstrual health doesn't just affect people during "that time of the month" — it can shape energy, mood, sleep and concentration all month long, and it shows up at work, at school and at home. This session is for anyone who wants to understand it better, whether you're living with a menstrual health condition, supporting someone who is, or leading a team. This session was recorded live as part of Handpicked's free Lunch and Learn series, run by specialists in menopause and women's health. For more sessions, visit handpicked.net. | |||
| PMDD: The Condition That Can Be Mistaken for Everything Else | Pheobe Williams | EP 101 | 29 Jun 2026 | 00:30:37 | |
What is PMDD — and why does it matter at work? In this Lunch & Learn session, Henpicked's Sally Leech sits down with Phoebe Williams, CEO and founder of The PMDD Project, to open up an important and often misunderstood conversation about premenstrual dysphoric disorder. PMDD affects roughly 1 in 20 people and can be so severe it's classified as a disability under the Equality Act 2010 — yet many who live with it spend years being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply not believed. Henpicked is proud to be a supporter of The PMDD Project, having donated £5,000 from the Menstruation and Menopause Friendly Employer Awards 2025 event — a testament to their commitment to championing menstrual health in and beyond the workplace. Together, we explore:
PMDD doesn't just affect people at home — it affects them at work, in their relationships, and in how they see themselves. This session is for anyone who wants to understand it better, whether you're living with it, supporting someone who is, or leading a team. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or are in crisis, please reach out to the Samaritans or your local emergency services. You are not alone.

How to Talk to Your GP About Menstrual Health | with Dr Clare Spencer Do you ever walk into a GP appointment and forget half of what you wanted to say? Or wonder whether your symptoms are "bad enough" to mention? You are not alone — and this episode is here to change that. In this Lunch & Learn session, Henpicked's Sally Leech sits down with Dr Clare Spencer — GP, women's health specialist, and menopause expert — for a frank, empowering conversation about how to get the most from your GP when it comes to menstrual health. Whether you're dealing with heavy bleeding, cyclical mood changes, suspected endometriosis, or PMDD, Dr Clare cuts through the jargon and tells you exactly how to prepare, what to say, and what questions to ask.

| What Men Get Wrong About Menopause — And How to Get It Right | Rob Kemp & Joe Warner | EP 98 | 11 May 2026 | 00:33:12 | |
Menopause affects all of us. Half the population experiences it firsthand — and the other half through the people they love. Yet most men feel completely lost when their partner goes through it. In this Henpicked Lunch and Learn session, we're joined by authors Rob Kemp and Joe Warner, who share what drove them to write their practical guide for male partners, what surprised them most in their research, and why the gap between men's good intentions and their actual impact is so wide — and so fixable. Rob Kemp is a men's health journalist and author with decades of experience writing about men's wellbeing, relationships, and midlife. Joe Warner is a writer, editor and author whose personal experience of his partner's perimenopause journey led him to seek out the book he wished had existed — and eventually, to write it. Together, they've created a practical, honest playbook for men navigating menopause alongside their partners. Together, we explore:
We also discuss the psychological impact of menopause that often goes unacknowledged, the reality of medical gaslighting, and why a little knowledge really does go a long way. This conversation is a powerful reminder that menopause isn't just a women's issue — it's a relationship issue, a workplace issue, and everyone's business. 🔗 Find the book : https://burningupfrozenout.com/

Dr Vickie Williams recently completed her PhD at The Open University, focusing on endometriosis, menstrual policy, and the lived experience of working with a long-term condition.

| Autism, ADHD & Menopause: Why Symptoms Can Suddenly Intensify | Dr Clare Spencer | Ep 96 | 06 Apr 2026 | 00:33:45 | |
Autism, ADHD and menopause are being talked about more than ever — but this is still a developing and often misunderstood area of women's health. In this expert-led Henpicked Lunch & Learn, Deborah Garlick is joined by menopause specialist Dr Clare Spencer to explore how neurodiversity and menopause intersect — and why symptoms can feel suddenly overwhelming during this transition.

| Why Periods Are Still a Workplace Taboo | Menstrual Health with Talycia Nayee | Ep 95 | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:31:30 | |
In this episode of the Henpicked Lunch & Learn podcast, host Sally Leech is joined by menstrual health educator and speaker Talycia Nayee to explore why periods are still surrounded by silence in many workplaces. Despite periods being a normal and natural part of life for millions of people, conversations about menstrual health often remain uncomfortable or avoided altogether in professional environments. This silence can make it harder for employees to seek support and for organisations to create inclusive workplace cultures. In this discussion, Talycia shares insights into why the stigma around periods still exists, the barriers that prevent open conversations at work, and why greater awareness and education around menstrual health matters for both employees and employers. The conversation also explores how workplaces can play an important role in supporting women's health by helping to normalise conversations around periods and ensuring employees feel able to speak openly about their health and wellbeing.

In this Henpicked Lunch & Learn session, we explore how ethnicity shapes experiences of menstruation, menopause and access to healthcare — and why understanding these differences is essential for equity, wellbeing and support at work and in life. Sally Leach from Henpicked is joined by Dr Radhika Vohra, NHS and private GP, menopause specialist, and trustee and medical adviser at The Menopause Charity.
