Navigating Midlife Menopause Transitions Together - The Male Perspective with Satwinder Sagoo

In this episode, I talk to my guest, Satwinder Sagoo about the often-overlooked intersection of menopause and the male experience. After witnessing the collapse of a loving relationship due to the misunderstood symptoms of perimenopause, he realised that we cannot navigate these hormonal shifts in isolation.  Satwinder dedicated himself to becoming a certified menopause champion and an advocate for understanding andropause, or "male menopause," to help couples find their way back to one another, and in this very special episode, he’s here to talk about his experiences from the male perspective. Satwinder Reveals How a lack of knowledge regarding perimenopause can lead to sudden relationship breakdowns and feelings of isolation for both partners. Why men experience their own hormonal shifts, including night sweats, mood swings, and low testosterone, that mirror the perimenopausal journey. Why breaking the macho stigma and speaking openly about physical and emotional changes is the key to maintaining a thriving relationship. How viewing midlife as a human transition rather than a gendered battle allows couples to support each other through shared symptoms and experiences. BEST MOMENTS "What if menopause is not just something women go through, but something couples go through together?" "Don’t see vulnerability as a weakness, but a strength... you’re taking more accountability for yourself, but also your relationship." "Men and women are human beings, so try to see it from a perspective of it’s a human midlife common transition."
