Planning my Fabulous 50th and I smacked into the throes of perimenopause - but I'd never heard of it! Hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, anxiety and no one to talk to about it. Even my GP hadn't mentioned the pending hormonal changes. Once I could wrap my head around the 35 recognised syptoms (and counting) and that I had 29 of these, I committed to learning everything I could and telling everyone I could. My journey through menopause has had trauma, heartbreak, humour and enlightenment. While I share my personal experience about each perimenopause symptom, I navigate conversations with experts from around the world for my podcast "Sexy Ageing" and learn that there are many things we can do to support our menopause transition - both naturally and medically. Each symptom is broken down into a story that you can probably relate to, an explanation of what is happening in the body to cause that symptom and then top tips to support you as recommended by the experts in this field. My experience is supported by other women's stories and from their sharing, we learn that every woman's journey is different.
