Description

Most of us would never ignore a flashing light on the dashboard — yet many women ignore the early signs of perimenopause for months or even years. In this episode, Women’s Health Physiotherapist and Menopause Mentor Roberta Bass uses a simple but powerful analogy: if your body were a car, would it pass its MOT?

Roberta explains why women often push through symptoms, how hormone changes can affect everything from sleep to mood to joint health, and why taking action early can make the transition far easier. She also talks through five simple “self-checks” to help you understand what your body needs right now, and what can happen if you leave symptoms until everything feels like it’s falling apart.

If you’ve been feeling tired, achy, overwhelmed, or “not quite yourself,” this episode will help you recognise the early warning signs and understand why your body may need a different kind of care during perimenopause.
