Meera Bhogal is a leading nutrition and menopause expert who learned about these topics from her own lived experience. As someone who dealt with signs of menopause in her early 40s, she was misdiagnosed several times and had to find a solution that worked best for her. In addition to her work as the Founder of Oak Lee Montessori School Limited, she has dedicated herself to gaining and raising awareness about menopause and other issues women face through her website and menopause programmes. Meera is now available to speak at a range of events about menopause, the misconceptions surrounding it, and women’s health and nutrition.
Having spent most of her life dealing with severe migraines and excessively painful bloating episodes, she looked to doctors to help her. However, the medication she was prescribed often left Meera feeling lethargic and unwell, and therefore she cut out dairy and wheat from her diet. Heartened to see positive results from this, she started to try new recipes and ingredients that she could consume in lieu of dairy and gluten. These recipes have been compiled on her website Meera’s Made from Scratch for people all over the world to try. Meera’s holistic approach to reducing inflammation, balancing blood sugar, and improving overall health comes from her understanding of different foods and ingredients and what properties they contain. Her portal is also a comprehensive view into Meera’s work in raising awareness about Menopause and women’s health. She firmly believes that conversations about menopause should be made normal, especially in South Asian communities where they are still considered taboo subjects. Thus, through her work as a Menopause Expert, she wants to help people get the information and support they require to have the happiest, healthiest journey through menopause they can possibly have. She now helps people learn more about their bodies and menopause through her programmes like “Don’t Pause for Menopause” and “The Training Club”.
As someone who dealt with symptoms such as hair loss, joint pain, stiffness, and brain fog in her early 40s, Meera was in the dark about these being signs of menopause. She is now keen on providing as much education and information as she can to women. Therefore, she hosts Meera’s Menopause Podcast – an information-rich podcast for those who want to learn more about health, menopause, and nutrition.

Meera collaborates with companies to raise awareness about menopause and has also worked with MP Caroline Harris on the APPG parliamentary inquiry on menopause.
