Two young Scottish entrepreneurs have made it their mission to improve options for women experiencing menopause after watching their friend go through the life-changing transition at the age of just 25.Jessica Watson and Isla Telfer, both 28, had their eyes opened after their close friend was chemically induced into the menopause in her mid-20s.

They became acutely aware of the dearth of knowledge and support surrounding menopause – as well as the lack of products available to help manage the transition.It prompted the pair to found GLORIAH, a menopause-focussed personal care brand that creates luxury products to help people manage the first signs of the menopause.The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
