When Kate Muir created and produced the Channel 4 documentary Davina McCall: Sex, Myths and the Menopause in 2021, she ignited a national conversation that transformed how millions of women understand their health.

Her books have become essential guides for women navigating midlife: Everything You Need to Know About the Menopause (But Were Too Afraid to Ask), published in 2022, is widely regarded as the thinking woman's guide to menopause, whilst Everything You Need to Know About the Pill (2024) provides crucial insights into contraception. Her 2025 book, How to Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis, offers women an empowering roadmap for entering the second half of life with confidence, purpose and energy. Kate's forthcoming book, Can I Avoid Alzheimer?, set for publication in 2027, demonstrates her commitment to tackling the health questions that matter most to women.
