French physician Vincent Valinducq answered viewers' health questions on menopause-related weight gain and the risks of household mold in a segment broadcast on TF1's morning programme Bonjour ! La Matinale on 10 September 2026.
The appearance was part of "Allo le doc" (Hello, Doc), a recurring call-in feature on the show in which Valinducq responds directly to questions sent in by viewers. In this instalment, he addressed why people tend to put on weight during menopause and whether mold sometimes found in homes can make people ill, according to TF1info's video editorial team, which produced the report.
The segment ran for four minutes and 13 seconds.
A recurring viewer call-in feature
"Allo le doc" is a regular fixture of Bonjour ! La Matinale, TF1's early morning news and lifestyle programme. The format is built around ordinary viewers submitting health concerns for a doctor to answer on air, covering everyday medical topics rather than breaking news.
Menopause and weight gain
Menopause is the natural biological transition marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It is commonly accompanied by hormonal shifts, and questions about associated changes in weight are a frequent topic raised by viewers of health programmes such as this one.
Household mold as a health concern
Mold is a fungus that can develop in damp, poorly ventilated parts of homes, such as bathrooms and basements. Public health authorities in France and elsewhere have long flagged persistent mold as a potential household hazard worth monitoring, which is the backdrop to the viewer question put to Valinducq on the programme.

TF1info has also published a separate written article examining whether household mold is purely a cosmetic issue or a genuine health risk, featuring advice from a doctor on the subject.
