Episode notes
Menopause is something most women know is coming — but for many it still arrives as a shock. Hot flushes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, exhaustion — the symptoms are so common they have almost become expected. But Katie Brindle, one of the UK's leading Chinese medicine practitioners and founder of The Hayo'u Method, has a very different take.

Sunetra Sarker
Sunetra Sarker has been a familiar face on British television for decades — from Brookside and No Angels to nearly a decade in Casualty, and more recently Ackley Bridge. But it's what she has done since leaving the security of that long-running role that makes her such a good MidPoint guest. Sunetra talks openly about hitting the MidPoint as a real turning point — the moment she stopped playing it safe and started taking more risks. She also talks honestly about the menopause, and how it was actually being on Loose Women and hearing her fellow panellists talk so openly about their own…

Dr Fede Amati
Weight and weight loss is something that we have struggled to understand properly for decades. Whether its a fad diet, a new theory or an alternative approach, it's something we have been discussing and often misunderstanding, for many years. With the introduction of GLP1s, this has only increased. GLP-1 medications have changed the conversation around weight, appetite and health in a way few of us could have predicted. But what happens before you start, while you're on them, and after? Dr Fede Amati, who has joined us on The Midpoint before, is a Medical Scientist and Registered Public…

Professor Vaibhav Modgil
Although we speak a lot about women's health on The Midpoint, it's also important to look at men's health and what we should take notice of.

Today's guest is someone who is at the absolute forefront of Men's Health in this country. Professor Vaibhav Modgil is a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary and one of the UK's leading experts in andrology —…
