In this episode of Meera’s Menopause Podcast, I’m joined by journalist and author Alice Smellie to talk about the confusion, marketing noise, and misinformation that so often surrounds menopause. From spotting red flags in wellness products to navigating the pressure to “go natural,” we explore how women can cut through the noise and get the support they need.

If you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, Meera shares evidence-based guidance and real life strategies to help you feel empowered, educated, and in control of your health.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to spot misleading advice and marketing

• The risks of wellness trends that aren’t rooted in evidence

• What to consider when weighing natural vs medical options

• Why so many women still feel dismissed—and what to do about it

• How Alice’s own experience shaped the way she writes about menopause
