Menopause mentors
How women are using cafes, apps and oils to make menopause a little easier.
The menopause is something half the world鈥檚 population goes through. But despite this, it鈥檚 still not much talked about - and in some places, remains taboo.
Which means many women hit this stage of life not understanding what鈥檚 happening to them.
We join a menopause cafe where people share experiences face-to-face, try out an app giving Indian women practical advice, and hear about workshops in Argentina where women learn how to replace expensive menopause products with cheaper items like coconut oil.
