Basically bean sprouting was a bit of a hobby for me, it’s a great way of indoor gardening for flat dwellers as I was at the time. I was excited when growing red clover (as opposed to taking red clover pills) cured my hot flushes and thought I’d write a small pamphlet about it. However, I have this thing about research, I wanted to prove everything I said, so I started reading science papers, and learning scientific terms and slowly I let them take me on an incredible journey. The biggest thing I discovered is that the fertility industry (who really know about women’s bodies because they make babies) use a different model to for how menopause happens, that doesnt make it seem like a deficiency disease the way the HRT industry does because it wants us to believe that we need their pills. It’s completely revolutionary and I realise now that the book should have been more about that but I was too focussed on my sprouting. I did sometimes wonder how many people would want to grow their own HRT every week, and i was right to wonder, because although some people love my book, and people write to me saying I changed their life, it has never become a best seller.
I know I could be on the internet all day commenting everytime someone mentions menopause but instead I’m writing a novel and I still write jokes and even the occasional (funny) song and plan to write another play one day. But I’m still here, I’m still sprouting, I’ve still got opinions about it all. I will do a sweep of the latest research every now and then and update you all, so watch this space. And if per chance you are both suffering from hot flushes and writing jokes then I’m a one stop shop for you – so hellooooooo, welcome.
