The Story So Far

I started going through the Menopause about 5 years ago and found myself feeling lost and just not myself. I floundered around for 5 years bouncing back and forward from the GP with no answers (but lots of tablets!). Fed up and fobbed off. What saved me was 2 key things – 1) my friends who had been where I was and knew how I felt and could offer advice and 2) tracking my symptoms and the impacts of the various things I tried like medication and changes to exercise and diet.

I don’t want this to be how my friends or daughters have to face their menopause. I want them to have the best of what helped me - a community to share the experience with, mentors to advise them and smart technology to help them understand what is happening to them and the best ways to deal with it. Change is inevitable but can be positive in many ways.

Tablets shouldn't be the solution to everything!

So ChangeXtra was born – from the blood, sweat and tears (literally!) of my own experience and a real desire to make the world better for women.
Let’s talk Menopause, and empower women through positive change!

Dr. Claire Mann

Founder of ChangeXtra

I founded ChangeXtra based on my own lived experience of peri-menopause, struggling to work out what my symptoms were and managing the impact on my life. I spent many years researching the topic and want to share what I learned with others.

ChangeXtra is passionate about 'enabling conversations about the menopause' and 'empowering women through positive change'.

I am also an academic, a researcher and trained in data science. I want to support women and collect big data about peri-menopause to inform research, policy and practice.

I have won several national start-up competitions and built the business and app on a bootstrapped approach with no external investment.

I am passionate about the potential to improve lives through awareness raising and research.
