Menopause and cancer podcast

The Menopause and Cancer Podcast

This podcast is run by Dani Binnington of Healthywholeme.  I can relate to Dani’s experience and content so well.  It was two years ago today I had my mastectomy for breast cancer which then led to induced menopause.

While Dani page & community, Healthy whole me, has been running for a while and she has lots of valuable information to share, her podcast only started recently.

I love listening to podcasts (usually on 1.5 speed!) in the gym, walking, in the car and if I am cooking alone in the kitchen. It is a great way to learn and also good research for my book on menopause cooking.

There is lots of information out there about the menopause but hardly any if you have had a cancer diagnosis as well, it can be a lonely place without support.  Here is a summary of some Dani’s podcasts to date. Hopefully I will be on there soon sharing my menopause cooking experience!
