Episode Synopsis

How much do you know and understand about perimenopause and menopause? It’s a stage of life that will affect each and every one of us – either directly or indirectly, but until a few years ago, was barely spoken about.

Finally that conversation is getting louder – thanks to women like our guest Dr Naomi Potter.

Naomi is a leading menopause expert, the founder of Menopause Care clinic, and co-author with Davina McCall of the bestselling book “Menopausing”. 

In this episode she and Stephanie take a deep dive into perimenopause – when it can start, how it manifests, the potential impact on mental health and the weird symptoms it can present. They also discuss everything HRT – from the pros and cons, risks and benefits to alternative options, treatments and therapies. And take a good look at training and education, what needs to change and how families can really support women going through hormonal changes.
