EP144 - Menopause, Endo & Living Well

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Julie Farrelly, founder of My Menopause Clinic. Julie’s a functional integrative nurse practitioner with lived experience of menopause. She’s passionate about supporting women through this transformative phase, offering holistic, personalised care that helps us not just survive but truly thrive during menopause.


💬 Episode Summary (800 characters):

In this heartfelt chat, I’m joined by Julie Farrelly as we unpack the complex relationship between endometriosis and menopause—something I’ve personally battled. We dive into why endo doesn’t magically disappear at menopause (newsflash: I was hoping it would!) and how managing both at once is a whole new challenge. Julie shares why a personalised, holistic approach is so important, especially when the severity of endo doesn’t always match the pain. If you’re navigating midlife health challenges, this one’s packed with insights, compassion, and some seriously practical advice.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Endometriosis can persist post-menopause—know your symptoms.
  2. Stage of endo doesn’t equal pain levels.
  3. Holistic care is essential for menopause.
  4. Hormone therapy can support, but it’s individual.
  5. Self-advocacy is vital—know your options.

Notable Quotes:

  • "There’s no magic switch where endo just disappears when menopause hits."
  • "Pain doesn’t always correlate with the stage of endo—and that’s what makes it tricky."
  • "We need to empower women to advocate for the care they deserve, especially in midlife."
  • "Menopause isn’t the end—there’s so much life and vitality ahead when we manage it well."
