#038 – Menopause and Cancer with Dani Binnington

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.
