Menopause, Misunderstood – A Conversation with Michelle Rowlinson

In this powerful episode, host Karen Bashford is joined by Michelle Rowlinson, bestselling author, senior MSK physiotherapist, and menopause wellbeing educator. Michelle opens up about her seven-year battle with undiagnosed perimenopause symptoms, the toll it took on her health, relationships, and career, and how it led her to become a passionate advocate for menopause education.

From misdiagnoses and marriage breakdowns to hormonal brain fog and the realities of HRT, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the silent struggles many women face. Michelle also shares actionable advice around nutrition, exercise, and how to advocate for yourself with healthcare professionals.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or confused about your body during perimenopause or menopause—this episode is for you.

Listen now and reclaim the power of knowledge.
