Just a fresh mint tea in the morning,” she begins. Then a superfood salad for lunch and salmon or chicken for dinner. I take magnesium, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D3, calcium for the bones, a shot of cider vinegar, a big shot of aloe vera, red clover for my hot flushes, evening primrose oil and fish oils.” And that’s before administering her hormone treatments (more on that later). But why such a full- on regime? Because Meg Mathews is new, improved… and menopausal.
The poster girl for Britpop hedonism and a firm member of the infamous Primrose Hill set, Mathews is now the poster girl for the Gen- X menopause. I want women to have open, honest and frank conversations about the menopause,” she says, arms waving with enthusiasm. I don’t want it to be this taboo subject.”If any biological transition in a woman's life needed an unexpected cheerleader, surely it's the menopause. Previously treated as some sort of shameful secret, it was Christa D’Souza's liberating book, The Hot Topic, released last year, that finally got women talking honestly about what they were going through – from the peri menopause (experiencing just a few symptoms) to a fully fledged physical change. For Meg, it apparently all began one day in January 2.
Over the next few sleepless nights the symptoms worsened. I thought I was losing it,” she says. I was nauseous, my boobs hurt, I was sweating at night. Every symptom you’ve had in your life for PMT or pregnancy, I got all of that; scatty brain, anxiety, aching joints. I felt like an old woman.” Blood tests confirmed it was the menopause.
I just felt relieved I finally knew what it was and could start treating it,” says Mathews. I’m interviewing her on her 5. Fresh from a workout, dressed in a royal blue Stella Mc. Cartney for Adidas tank and leggings, she flings open the door as Oscar, her seven- year- old Boston terrier and Ziggy, her eight- month- old Hungarian vizsla, leap and bark excitedly. Inside, Anaïs, her 1.
Mum won’t eat them because they’re not gluten- free. I’m making them anyway”). There’s an elaborate bag of purple, pink and white flowers (“from Kate”) sitting on the floor and Diptyque Feu de Bois candles burning on the tables. During the next two hours, another bouquet arrives – this time from Mathews’ father – Anaïs produces her expertly baked goods and the three of us sit on a white rug on the floor, leaning back onto white leather sofas and propping our arms onto pink- and- white Bella Freud cushions. Mathews roars with laughter as she recollects wearing a crop top to visit then- prime minister, Tony Blair, at Number 1. Noel Gallagher (Anaïs’ father and Oasis songwriter), back in 1. Back then nobody got invited to Number 1.
Mathews in her husky London twang. For someone who left school without any qualifications, ran away from home and hitchhiked to London, that was a big deal. I was really proud of it. And I wore a bloody crop top!” The invitation marked Blair’s era of ‘Cool Britannia’, the height of Britpop and sparked the paparazzi’s obsession with Mathews.
BBC Two did a documentary about 1. I was the third most written- about woman in the newspapers that year, after The Spice Girls and Princess Diana,” she says. Mathews was born in Guernsey but grew up in South Africa, and then Norfolk.
She came to London aged 1. PR, music management, and then party- planning. In one of her short- lived columns for The Sunday Times, Mathews announced that she had dyed her hair platinum to “match her credit cards.” She and Gallagher married in 1.
I wonder how their relationship is now, especially with a model daughter gracing catwalks and magazine covers in her own right. Shush, no, we can’t talk about him,” she insists. It really backfires. We have a great relationship but we both agreed… we just don’t. It’s my interview, isn’t it?” Fair enough. Is she dating anyone now?
A recent tabloid story cited Mathews as having a Tinder profile. Unusually, she pauses before speaking, a wry smile emerging, then a cackle. She is on Raya, the app for the creative industries, which has a strict vetting process. I beg her to show me who’s on there. The first face is a famous sportsman. I’ve only been on a couple of online dates,” she says later. But I don’t really want to date anyone right now.
I’m enjoying being on my own and I want to make sure that I’m feeling 1. Watch Logan Online IMDB. I meet anyone. I don’t want to be lying in bed [with a man] having hot sweats. I think I used to date guys because they were ‘the cool guy’ a lot of the time, but it’s just about someone you can laugh with and feel comfortable with.”The party years are well and truly behind Mathews. I was hardcore, we all were,” she says. I probably never enjoyed Sunday morning. But now I wake up energised, not with a pounding headache.” It’s been 1. I’m not a nice drunk,” she says.
I think I’m being the funniest at the party when really I’m just the loudest.” Dancing at dusk has been replaced with walking the dogs at dawn. Three times a week she trains with weights at KX in Chelsea.“The menopause was the kicker to really reassess everything,” she says. I cut out all the crap food, started exercising again and, once I’d found the treatments that worked for me, started to feel great again. I’ve got more energy and I feel in control.” The treatment Mathews speaks of aren't for the faint- hearted (and you should consult a doctor before experimenting with any of these). I have the Mirena coil that releases progestogen every month," she explains, adding, “then I use a few pumps of oestrogen cream and a pea- sized amount of testosterone gel.” Testosterone? It helps me get up and go. It helps stabilise my body.
And boost my libido. And it’s made my hair thicker.” At this, she tips her head down and shakes her characteristic shaggy blonde locks.
Go on, feel it,” she urges. She’s right; it does feel thick. A well- documented stint in rehab 1. Mathew’s self love.
It’s taken years. A lot of work. But now I’m the most settled, happy and confident and self- accepting than I’ve ever been.” Anaïs nods along to this. The two clearly have a close bond and often finish each other’s sentences – between Anaïs rolling her eyes at Mathews’ elaborate stories and occasionally correcting her. We have an amazing relationship,” says Mathews. I’m very sensitive and she’s 1.
Thick- skinned and articulate. If we ever have an argument, I’m the one screaming and crying and she's the sensible one! I love it when she asks for my advice, but I ask for her advice all the time, too. I look at her and think, ‘Wow.’ She is so comfortable in her skin. I wasn’t at all. Anaïs doesn’t worry about anything.”I press Mathews again for stories about her ’9. I get it – she’s moved on.
I wouldn’t change a thing,” she vows. I’ve lived my life but I’m glad I’ve learnt to grow and appreciate it all and where I am now. I don’t wish I was this wise at 2. I loved raving, I loved being a punk and being in that scene, I did it all at the best time.
But now, I finally like Meg.” A few hugs later, I leave Mathews’ house thinking how much I like her, too. This interview appears in the June issue of Red, on sale now. Starting next month, read Meg Mathews’ exclusive health diaries on Redonline.
