In this episode of Is It Hot In Here?, Dr. Naomi Potter sits down with George Smart, fiancé of TV presenter Lisa Snowdon who appeared on the podcast last episode, to explore the often-overlooked role of partners during menopause.
Lisa claimed George was her rock throughout years of pain, fear , anxiety and confusion, so this week George explains how he set out to help her as best he could. He also offers advice to the many listeners who messaged us after listening to Lisa talk about him. He discusses the scarcity of resources available for men to understand menopause and offers practical advice for partners striving to provide meaningful support during this transformative period.
