Contraception, Menopause, and Everything In Between: What Do We Really Know?

Interview with Kate Muir, novelist and journalist

 

We’re kicking off our brand-new series, Fobbed Off and Female, with an unmissable conversation featuring Kate Muir—novelist, journalist, and fierce advocate for women's health.

Kate, author of Everything You Need to Know About The Menopause and The Pill, has been instrumental in breaking the silence around medical misogyny. In this episode, she shares eye-opening insights into the systemic biases in healthcare, from the hidden dangers of hormonal contraception to the neglect of menopause in medical research.

We also discuss her upcoming book, How to Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis (out this summer!), which challenges outdated perceptions of aging and women’s health.

🔹 How much do we know about the pill’s impact on mental health?
🔹 Why is female contraception not held to the same safety standards as male contraception?
🔹 What’s the Pope Rule—and how has it shaped access to birth control?

This is essential listening for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone ready to challenge the status quo.
