Dr. Lucy Burns talks with Helen New, a Melbourne Pilates instructor, about her real menopause journey and how she had to fight for proper care. Helen shares her struggles with exhaustion, mood changes, and joint pain that well-meaning doctors kept getting wrong, plus the tough moment when she sat crying in her GP's office asking for help. You'll learn how to recognise important signs that might be missed, why you need to speak up for yourself during menopause, and get practical tips from someone who's been through it all. If you're dealing with menopause symptoms or know someone who is, Helen's honest story will help you understand what to expect and how to get the support you deserve.
