KEY TAKEAWAYS: Tracy Dennison is a consultant nurse practitioner with over 30 years of experience in the field. She specializes in supporting and empowering women through their perimenopause and menopausal phase of life. Tracy takes a holistic approach to menopause, focusing not only on hormonal treatments like HRT, but also on lifestyle factors that can impact symptoms.

She works with organizations to educate senior managers and HR departments on how to support women going through menopause and create a more inclusive and understanding work environment. Tracy's passion for menopause care comes from her personal experience with her mother's difficult menopause journey. She wanted to approach her own perimenopause differently and help other women navigate this phase of life with more support and knowledge. Tracy's expertise extends to women of all ages, including those who may experience early menopause or menopause later in life. She believes that age should not limit access to treatment and support, and has successfully helped women in their 70s improve their quality of life through hormone therapy and lifestyle changes. BEST MOMENTS: "We need to understand all of the other things that are going on in our bodies, in our environments, and how that all impacts on how we can struggle at times with symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause." "It's about patient empowerment, patient support, patient education. That's what I love to do." "Just being able to support people at both ends of the scale, because of course women sometimes sadly have menopause in their 20s, or certainly if anybody has a certain medication, they might get put in a chemical menopause early." "We mustn't forget those older ladies. And I think it's really easy to do, because very often they almost forget themselves. They think they're past it." "Menopause in the workplace is what it's all about." lifewithpurpose.me Hey, my name is Laura welcome to my podcast, it is my purpose in life to enlighten your mind, body, and soul, to live a life with purpose and guide you to all things that connect us as human beings and for you to find that real true inner self, that has energy that radiates out to the world.
