11 Menopause Influencers I Love (As a Perimenopausal British Girl)

Menopause is no longer a whispered word, nor is it something women are expected to “experience” behind closed doors. Thanks to a growing group of outspoken, evidence-based, and deeply connected influencers with menopause, the midlife debate has changed dramatically.

As the ridiculously good hashtag says, it’s #not your mommenopause.

Once presented as an end, menopause is now claimed to be a transition: complex, messy, powerful and deserving of far more care than women have historically received. And Instagram, podcasts, Substack newsletters, and community platforms play a central role in this cultural reset.

From NHS doctors calling out misinformation to bodybuilding advocates redefining midlife fitness to yoga teachers helping women reconnect with their nervous systems, these menopause influencers are doing more than creating followers. They are changing healthcare knowledge, workplace conversations, and how women understand their bodies in their 40s and 50s.

The UK’s Clearest Voices

Menopause care works best when it is multidisciplinary. And by that I mean everything from the latest evidence-based clinical advice to nutrition, exercise, coping strategies and, of course, lafs. I’m here for the Lafs, as long as they’re really good.

UK-based menopause doctors like Dr Louise Newson, Dr Naomi Potter, Dr Shahzadi Harper and Dr Punam Krishan have played a huge role in mainstreaming evidence-based conversations about menopause in media, policy and social platforms.

But alongside clinicians, we see non-doctor influencers on menopause become just as impactful, as they speak directly to women’s everyday realities: strength training, mental health, identity changes, relationships, teenage parenthood while navigating hormonal chaos.

Which brings us to the women who are shaping this space right now.

2. Dr Naomi Potter – compassionate, evidence-based menopause care

Dr Naomi Potter is a UK-based menopause specialist known for confronting fear-driven headlines with calm, clinical clarity. Her content covers the myths of HRT, individualized care, and why general advice doesn’t work for complex female bodies.

She’s one of the names women are increasingly turning to, especially for thoughtful, non-alarmist advice.

3. Menopause Yoga – nervous system support for hormonal change

Not all menopausal symptoms are resolved by prescriptions and Yoga Menopause understands this deeply.

Focused on breathing, mobility and parasympathetic regulation, this story helps women cope with anxiety, sleep disorders, joint stiffness and emotional overwhelm. It’s a reminder that menopause care is not just hormonal, but also neurological and embodied.

4. The Menopause Doctor – clinical clarity, honesty with the audience

One of the most followed menopause influencers on Instagram, The menopause doctor brings medical authority into a space often dominated by cat memes (and so on).

Its strength lies in clear explanations why symptoms appear, what treatments exist and how women can defend themselves during appointments with the general practitioner. One to favor.

6. Dr Mary Claire Haver – midlife health beyond the UK

Although based in the United States, The works of Dr. Mary Claire Haver resonates deeply with the British public (myself included), particularly when it comes to metabolic health, nutrition and longevity during menopause.

Her evidence-based stance on weight changes during menopause has helped dismantle shameful narratives that blame women for hormonal changes.

7. Libby Stevenson Wellbeing – nervous system, burnout and the midlife reset

Again, menopause does not occur in isolation. This often clashes with work pressure, caregiving, burnout, and unresolved stress.

Libby Stevenson sits at this intersection, helping women understand why perimenopause can feel like everything is suddenly falling apart and how regulation, boundaries, and recovery are more important than ever.

8. Dr Punam Krishan – menopause, medicine and media education

NHS GP and regular media voice, Dr Punam Krishan brings conversations about menopause into mainstream spaces – television, radio and social media – without dumbing them down.

Its content is particularly valuable for women navigating NHS journeys and wanting to understand what good care is. should look like.

9. Christie Chapman Wellness – trauma-informed menopause support

Christie Chapman approaches menopause through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing how past experiences can shape symptom severity, anxiety, and the nervous system’s response during hormonal changes.

This perspective is increasingly vital (and largely absent) in traditional menopause care.

11. SheBang Menopause – culture, creativity and conversation

SheBang Menopause combines storytelling, culture and education, creating a space for women who don’t see themselves reflected in clinical charts or generic wellness tropes.

This is content about menopause that feels human, expansive and conversation-oriented.

The future of menopause influence

The next era of menopause content won’t be about quick fixes or fear-based messaging. I predict we’ll hear a lot more of our leading voices, covering:

• Long-term health
• Strength and ability
• Mental well-being
• Informed choice
• Community and Representation
  

Menopause influencers, especially those based on evidence and lived experiences, are shaping this future in real time. I will be 40 next March and I am following all these women with interest.
