Rachel Lankester is an author, podcast host, speaker and midlife mentor helping women thrive through the often messy middle of life. After an initially devastating early menopause diagnosis at 41, which she was able to reverse for a short while through lifestyle changes, Rachel uses her experience to help women thrive through the menopause transition and feel better about ageing. Her mission is to challenge overwhelmingly negative narratives about midlife, menopause and ageing in general, and to give women more control over their hormones. She wants women to be prepared, not scared.
She’s the author of Magnificent Midlife: Transform Your Middle Years, Menopause and Beyond, recommended in The New York Times as one of seven top books about menopause. She’s host of the Magnificent Midlife Podcast, editor of The Mutton Club online magazine and founder of MenoClarity, an educational forum for trust-worthy information about menopause. She has a Masters in Gerontology.
