Listen "25. Perimenopause, Hormones and our Health Service - Nicola Owen"
Episode Synopsis
Nicola Owen is a trained Teacher, Wellbeing Practitioner and the Founder of Zennic Wellbeing.
In this episode Nicola discusses Perimenopause, the Menopause and hormonal imbalance. Having had to self diagnose Perimenopause and persuade her doctor to prescribe her HRT she has become an expert in dealing with the difficulties the health service presents us women with.
In this episode we talk about why we are still having to work hard to find answers, why we have only just made women's health part of Doctor training and what this means for the generation of women who have missed out on expert care.
