One year on from her Channel 4 documentary tackling the stigma of menopause, Davina McCall is back with another film in which she explores how menopause can affect the mind as well as the body.<\/p>\n

In Davina McCall: Sex, Mind and the Menopause, the TV presenter explores how symptoms such as memory loss and brain fog are severely impacting women at work, and takes a look at the latest advances in hormone therapy.\u00a0The documentary also highlights the importance of women taking HRT as soon as they experience menopausal symptoms, and how hormone replacement therapy has proven to reduce the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s, and MS.<\/p>\n

At a recent press event for the film, McCall spoke out about how women have been conditioned by our patriarchal society to just \u2018soldier on\u2019 and deal with discomfort and pain instead of seeking relief from it. She added that this has hindered many women from taking HRT treatment despite suffering symptoms that affect the quality of their everyday life.<\/p>\n
