Dr Nighat Arif: Menopause, midlife & loads of medical things you never knew

  • Summary

  • Dr Nighat Arif is an amazing women's health specialist who has revolutionised women's medical coverage in the UK. She regularly on This Morning and BBC Breakfast as their expert doctor and is the author of The Knowledge, an essential guide to everything women might be too embarrassed to ask their GP.

    Dr Nighat came to the UK from Pakistan aged 9 speaking no English, failed her eleven plus but still made it to medical school. Her Tiktoks and Instagram reels in her native languages became an online sensation – she brings practical advice on intimate matters to women who would never otherwise get it. Now her English-language audience has mushroomed as well, on Instagram (@drnighatarif) and TikTok (@drnighatarif).

    Dr Nighat was one of Eleanor's first recruits to the board of NOON.org.uk and together they have campaigned for the recognition of menopause and the intersectionality of women's treatment: BAME women and women in the poorest parts of the UK are only HALF as likely to receive HRT as women in the richest areas.

    Tune in to a fascinating conversation about busting midlife taboos, menopause in Asian communities, medical insights you never realised you needed and the real reason we gain weight in midlife.
