Fiona Clark
Fiona is an author, investigative journalist and menopause advocate with a passion for women's health and politics. She's spent around 40 years working in print, radio TV and online. In Australia she was a reporter and supervising producer of the Australian Broadcasting Commission's equivalent of Newsnight for around a decade before moving into medical publishing where she wrote for various magazines and journals including The Lancet, as well as medical education and consumer organisations. She moved to the UK about a decade ago and set up Harley Street Emporium (now Hello Menopause), a site that aimed to give women evidence-based information.
Very quickly she found herself talking solely about menopause, and frustrated at the lack of research and information and education available she co-founded the Menopause Research and Education Fund (MREF), a charity set up to support research and ensure women and healthcare professionals have better access to evidence-based information and education. Her book, MenoWars, looks at the the current menopause landscape where doctors are arguing online about best treatment options, women are confused, a mass market of menopause related products is filling the void, and medical misogyny still reigns - and it tells you how to navigate that and advocate for a better system and for yourself.
