Half of the world’s population will experience perimenopause and menopause – and yet barely anyone’s talking about it. It’s estimated that around 13 million women are going through this natural biological process right now in the UK – experiencing such joyful symptoms as hot flushes, fatigue, insomnia, loss of libido, and mood swings – but still stigma, secrecy and shame surround the subject. In this episode, TV and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon shares her experience of perimenopause with women’s health expert Dr Shahzadi Harper. They discuss why this is such a crucial conversation for everyone to have (not just women), and why, with the right information and support, menopause can actually be a positive experience.RESOURCES Menopause Support, Advice & Products | BootsBoots Online Doctor Menopause & HRT Treatment The Boots Health Hub NHS menopause information My Menopause Centre Referenced products:Boots Menopause by Complete Woman (vitamins) Boots Vaginal Moisturiser Gel (30g Tube & Applicator) Boots Good Gut Live Friendly Bacteria + Women's Health Support Capsules Boots Synbiotics Pre & Pro Gut Blend Menopause Capsules Boots Menolieve Black Cohosh root extract  Hosted on Acast.
