Menopause Mastery: Part 1
In recognition and celebration of International Women’s Day 2023 (8th March), we interviewed Lexie Minter, who heads up the menopause treatment clinic at the Lloyd’s Wellbeing Centre.
In a previous life, Lexie Minter was an A&E nurse and a midwife. Now a highly experienced menopause practitioner and Nurse Prescriber, she strives to educate women about the perimenopause and the menopause, explaining how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can improve long-term health and wellbeing, easing the transition into the post-menopausal period.
In the first part of Lexie’s interview, she shares her knowledge about the perimenopause and the menopause, including explanations and common signs and symptoms. She also highlights the importance of oestrogen in women’s bodies.
Lexie Minter runs the Lloyds Wellbeing Centre’s menopause treatment clinic, and is a highly experienced menopause practitioner and Nurse Prescriber with a special interest in hormone health.
“I’m an independent Nurse Prescriber with a special interest in menopause and hormone health. I’ve been a registered nurse for over 20 years and have worked in a variety of disciplines, including Accident & Emergency, Occupational Health, Midwifery, Primary Care, Corporate Health and Wellbeing.”
“I spent 20 years working as an A&E nurse and a midwife, and nobody ever mentioned the menopause or the perimenopause. This needs to change.”
