Kate Muir’s Biography:
Kate Muir is best known as one of the UK’s most influential voices on women’s health, menopause, and hormone education. As creator and producer of Channel 4’s landmark documentaries Sex, Myths and the Menopause and Davina McCall’s Pill Revolution, she has transformed the national conversation on hormone health. Her films triggered widespread awareness of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), empowered millions of women to seek better care, and shifted the medical and political landscape surrounding menopause support. With a powerful blend of research, storytelling, and advocacy, Kate has become a sought-after keynote speaker for organisations across the UK and internationally.
Her early career began in journalism, where she worked as a foreign correspondent in Washington, Paris, and New York, reporting on major political, cultural, and social developments. Her sharp insight and engaging writing style propelled her to prominent positions in British media, culminating in seven years as Chief Film Critic for The Times. Alongside her journalism career, Kate wrote three acclaimed novels – West Coast, Left Bank, and Suffragette City – showcasing her versatility as a storyteller and cementing her reputation as a skilled and imaginative author.
Kate’s achievements in women’s health advocacy have become the defining force of her career. Her bestselling books, ‘Everything You Need to Know About the Menopause’ and ‘How to Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis’, blend science, personal experience, and accessible guidance. She has worked closely with policymakers, including MP Carolyn Harris, to push for better menopause care across the UK. Kate has spoken before the UK parliamentary committee on menopause and dementia, highlighting the protective effects of HRT on brain health, and is a founding member of The Menopause Charity, which focuses on education and equitable access to care.
As a speaker, Kate regularly delivers keynotes for major organisations including Lloyds, Bloomberg, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, and leading universities such as Cambridge and Queen’s Belfast. Her style is engaging, science-driven, and deeply empowering. She brings clarity to complex hormonal science, offers practical solutions for workplaces, and inspires individuals to embrace midlife as a time of strength, reinvention, and possibility.
