EXTRA: Ginni Mansberg Says You're Not Going Mad

July 2, 2026 · 52 min

Show notes

If you're a midlife woman - or live with someone who is - this episode is an absolute must-listen.

We love Dr. Ginni Mansberg for her no-BS medical wisdom and her completely unfiltered take on women’s health. In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, she strips back the clinical talk to get incredibly real about the chaotic reality of perimenopause and menopause - and the wild things that start happening to your body as early as your late thirties.

Ginni's own story is also lean-in interesting: she’s a mum of six to a blended family, is a resident doctor on TV shows like Sunrise and Embarrassing Bodies and is the author of The M Word - a guide to surviving and thriving through menopause and its chaotic little sister, perimenopause.

Dr Ginni shares her ultimate survival guide for a phase of life that is either happening right now or coming for you next. This chat is honest, fast-paced and a chance to get the straight-talking advice we all desperately need.

This episode originally aired on No Filter.
