EP17: Is this Perimenopause, or am I losing my mind...? [S2:E5]

from If not now, then when...? (The Midlife Experiment) · host Sonja McKaiser

Menopause is a natural part of midlife, yet so many womxn feel confused, overwhelmed, or completely unprepared when the transition begins.In this episode, I'm joined by GP and womxn's health specialist Dr. Fumi Kokoali for an honest conversation about what's really happening in our bodies during perimenopause and menopause.We talk about the symptoms many womxn don't realise are connected to menopausal transition, the emotional impact of this stage of life, and some of the biggest myths and misconceptions that still exist around treatment and support.If you've ever wondered "is this normal?" or felt like you're navigating this transition on your own, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone.This is part 1 of a two-part conversation. In next week's episode, we explore how menopause affects womxn of colour. Be sure you're following the podcast so you don't miss it!If you'd like to make an appointment with Dr Fumi, please reach out to The Women's Health Practice.In closing, if you're ready to get TF out of your own way this year and embrace the womxn you're becoming, I have two invitations for you:1. ⁠Becoming You - the next evolution⁠⁠⁠⁠, my signature group coaching programme begins on 16 March.
