97: Progressive Menopause GP Care with Dr Ceri Cashell

Dr Ceri Cashell's journey into improving the menopause care she gave patients, as a GP, was sparked by one patient's suggestion that she learn more about testosterone. This led her to explore and become a vocal champion for the essential role of sex hormones in women's overall well-being.
Join us as we talk through the complexities of menopause care, especially from a GP's perspective. Ceri is passionate about the need for real-world solutions that cater to the diverse and real needs of women globally.
Ceri shares her takeaways from the recent International Menopause Society Symposium we both attended and also shares her reaction to the recommendations tabled from the recent Senate Inquiry.
We delve into exciting innovations in menopause healthcare, including the benefits of Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) for bone, cardiac, and mental health. We also unpack the need for progressive healthcare changes in Australia, specifically improving equity and accessibility to good menopause care and affordable, if not free, medications.
Learn about the new platform for both patients and practitioners that Ceri has co-founded, called Healthy Hormones which is changing the face of menopause education and support for all Australians.
