Dr Shahzadi Harper: Pregnancy & Perimenopause and How To Manage Hormonal Weight Gain

The Capsule in Conversation

This week Natalie is joined by Dr Shahzadi Harper to talk the transition from post natal to perimenopause and how to manage hormonal weight gain. A dynamic doctor interested in optimising women's health and wellbeing Dr Harper is the founder of the designated Harper clinic, a registered menopause clinic in the heart of London that has a 360 approach to women’s wellbeing and she is also the co author of the hugely successful book ‘The Perimenopause Solution’ alongside being a member of the British Menopause Society. During this episode she brings her expertise to the table whilst discussing a number of topics as she is passionate about helping women take control of their hormonal health and wellbeing.
Noting the large number of symptoms many women may experience with a variety of women’s health issues Dr Harper suggests that our 40’s are a great time to ask for an overall health check so that we can take control of our mental and physical health as we journey towards menopause and that by being better informed we will be able to manage symptoms better.
Dr Harper highlights how lifestyle and stress factors can have a huge impact on symptoms and that by analysing and taking charge of these areas early on we can combat the more frustrating symptoms associated with perimenopause such as hormonal weight gain. Dr Harper discusses how as part of a personal challenge she has also developed a lifestyle programme aptly named ‘Let’s Get Waisted’ to help women understand what may be leading to unexpected weight gain as we age.
Listen in for a hugely informative chat with one of Britains best women’s health specialists.
