Mark Brooks OBE spills the beans on what's really stopping men from taking care of themselves. As the long-time leader of UK charity Mankind Initiative, he's seen firsthand how biases and stigma negatively impact men.

Mark debunks myths that men don't care about health or talking, and reveals how the system fails to meet their needs - from clinic hours to workplace support. He gives employers an action plan for supporting all staff, not just paying lip service on "Men's Health Day," stressing judgement-free cultures.

It's a wake-up call to rethink assumptions and make resources accessible to all genders on their own terms. The future of population wellness depends on understanding issues uniquely impacting half the population.

Dr Claire Kaye, an executive career coach and former GP specialising in perimenopause and menopause in the workplace, joined us on Pep Talks to discuss pressing issues facing women in the workplace. Dr. Kaye helps debunk myths that downplay how early symptoms can start and dismisses the idea that menopause is limited to hot flushes.

She stresses the importance of support for employees going through perimenopause. Dr. Kaye's insights highlight how organisations that educate managers and adopt flexible policies can create an environment where women feel comfortable enough to discuss challenges. Her message makes clear that addressing menopause is a win-win for employee wellbeing and business performance.
