HHHK 508: World Menopause Month - Navigating Perimenopause & Menopause Awareness, Busting Myths & Embracing Change with Elly McLean
Description
In today’s episode Elly McLean and I discuss the evolving conversation around perimenopause, menopause and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). We emphasise the need for a personalised approach considering factors like family history, lifestyle, and metabolic health. We cover the importance of early preparation, including diet, stress management, and quality sleep, to mitigate perimenopausal symptoms and long-term health risks. We also discuss the roles of testing to understand hormone levels, the significance of the first hormonal change, which is almost always low progesterone and not estrogen, the shift in awareness and the importance of addressing misconceptions, particularly regarding the benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy and so much more.
