What if everything you’ve been feeling—exhaustion, mood swings, weight changes—wasn’t just life, but a critical stage of your health no one warned you about?

In this eye-opening episode, Gayu Lewis, Menopause Wellness Advocate and host of the Gayu Lewis Podcast, sits down with Kausar, the founder of MeNow, the first perimenopause and menopause app available in both English and Arabic.

Together, we unpack the silent epidemic affecting millions of women—perimenopause—and why it often goes ignored, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. From cultural taboos that keep women quiet, to the lack of resources in languages women actually speak, this conversation reveals:

• Why perimenopause can start as early as your mid-30s—and how to recognize the signs before they derail your life
• The hidden impact of menopause on your confidence, relationships, and daily wellbeing
• How the MeNow app is using technology to empower women with free symptom tracking, evidence-based articles, and culturally sensitive tools
• What to do when your doctor doesn’t take you seriously—and how to advocate for yourself with data
• The importance of creating safe spaces for women to feel heard and supported in every culture

Whether you’re in your 30s and just starting to notice subtle changes, or in your 40s and feeling like a stranger in your own body, this episode will give you the clarity—and the confidence—to take charge of your health.
