Lady Bites Podcast

We’re back with a special round-up episode from the British Menopause Society Annual Scientific Meeting!
Join us as we discuss the key themes, latest research, and the clinical updates that caught our attention. From new evidence and evolving guidelines to practical take-home messages for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, we break down what matters most in an accessible and engaging way.
Whether you’re looking to stay up to date with the latest in menopause care or simply curious about what’s new in women’s health, this episode is packed with insights, discussion, and our reflections from one of the year’s most important menopause conferences.
Tune in to hear our highlights, what surprised us, and what we think will shape menopause care in the months ahead.Thanks as always to our friend Jeremy Roske for his track, A Little Love.

The new season of Lady Bites opens with a conversation a lot of us feel awkward talking about. In this episode, Aoife, Ciara and Louise discuss bowel cancer, including the key risk factors, common signs and symptoms to look out for, and the importance of screening in detecting cancer at an early stage when treatment is most effective.
They also explore the concerning rise in bowel cancer diagnoses among younger adults, examining what current research tells us and why awareness of symptoms is important regardless of age.

With the new year upon us, we’re talking women’s health, not unrealistic resolutions.
In this episode, we dive into the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and how they support women’s wellbeing and hormonal health. Think nourishment, movement, sleep, stress, connection, and habits that truly work in real life.

If Santa had a medical degree, what would we be asking for this Christmas? In this festive episode, we share what we’d love to find in our stockings, from a women’s health and wellbeing perspective.
