Beyond the Hot Flashes: Let's Talk Perimenopause and Menopause With Dr. Muchiri | EP 38

Your period starts acting up. You're not sleeping. Your skin is dry, your mood is all over the place. Something has shifted, you just don't have the language for it yet.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Muchiri an obstetrician, gynaecologist and hormone specialist, to talk about something far too many women are navigating alone: perimenopause and menopause.We break down what these transitions actually are (hint: menopause is just one day), what perimenopause looks like and why it's so often missed, the full-body impact of falling oestrogen, from your hair to your bones to your heart and what modern treatments like Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT, formerly HRT) actually involve.We also get into the uncomfortable truth about women's health research: how underfunded it is, how long change takes and why so many women are still being told to "just cope."Whether you're in your 30s wondering why your cycle has shifted, in your 40s and suspecting something is changing or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is for you.Listen in 🎧How To Reach Us: 📧 Email: [email protected] 📱 Instagram & TikTok: @adoseofhealththepodcastConnect with Dr. Muchiri: Socials: @drdorcusmuchiri (Consultant OBGYN) @fillinghtegappodcast Website: https://drdorcusmuchiri.com/?fbclid=PARlRTSAQoh-pleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaeLHt0hdx9lGJg9EVLVYqsWlqxwm1Z_rwgHgEfOtp_wLv_XNfZSmn_4sL9xPg_aem_hKoyF7ZI27-Pvy8lKOTXJQProduction by: @artlight_studios⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
