The UncompliKated Perimenopause Podcast

Send us a text

Have you ever felt dismissed by a doctor simply because they couldn't relate to what you're going through? Claire from Leeds certainly has, and this week on the Uncomplicated Perimenopause Podcast, my daughter Gabriella joins me—despite feeling under the weather—to address this very concern. We dive into whether requesting a female doctor could make a difference for women struggling with perimenopause and if male doctors can truly offer the support needed. Through personal stories and heartfelt discussions, we emphasise the importance of empathy and understanding in healthcare.
Perimenopause isn't just about the physical symptoms—it's an emotional rollercoaster too. From night sweats, which bamboo pajamas can amazingly alleviate, to the emotional agony of a dwindling libido, we cover it all. We discuss practical solutions like maca root and female testosterone, and highlight the critical role of self-advocacy in navigating the healthcare system. Understanding patient rights and leveraging community resources can empower women to receive the care they deserve. Join us as we share insights, personal experiences, and advice aimed at helping women confidently manage their perimenopause journey.
