About this episode

Dani Binnington discusses the intersection of menopause and cancer, sharing her personal journey and insights on supporting women in similar situations.

In today’s episode, I am delighted to welcome founder of ‘Menopause and Cancer’, Dani Binnington. We are diving into a vital yet often overlooked intersection of women’s health: the journey of menopause after cancer. Dani turned her own life-altering cancer diagnosis at age, just 33 into a mission to ensure no survivor feels like part of a 'forgotten tribe.' Dani is the founder of the UK’s only non-profit dedicated specifically to this cause, the host of the globally top-ranked The Menopause and Cancer Podcast, and the author of the #1 bestselling book, Navigating Menopause After Cancer. A passionate advocate, impactful speaker, and a self-described ‘thinking partner’ for women navigating the medical system, Dani brings both evidence-based strategies and deep personal compassion to the table.
