The internet is full of menopause advice. But how much of it can you actually trust?

In this solo episode, Dr Naomi Potter explores the growing world of menopause misinformation online – from social media 'experts' to AI-generated health advice and even deepfakes. She explains why menopause care is never one-size-fits-all, and why personalised medical advice still matters more than ever.

With more women turning to Instagram, Google and AI for answers, this episode gives you practical tools to help you question what you see online, spot red flags, and feel more confident navigating menopause information safely.

Menopause is complex, individual, and deeply personal. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, this episode will help you cut through the noise.
