S8E1 Dr Naomi Potter: Deep Diving into Perimenopause, HRT and Hormonal Health

Launching into this brand new series Natalie is joined by menopause specialist & founder of ⁠Menopause Care⁠, Dr Naomi Potter to talk understanding perimenopause and the myths surrounding HRT. A highly experienced menopause doctor combining care with compassion, Naomi is accredited by the British Menopause Society and is one-half of the hugely successful, number one bestselling book Menopausing alongside TV presenter Davina McCall.
During this episode Naomi breaks down the early signs and symptoms of perimenopause and explains how many women still don't realise they are potentially experiencing it due to a lack of education in this area of women's health. She also notes how the stigma around menopause and perimenopause leads younger women to believe that it is too early for them to be experiencing symptoms and so end up either being misdiagnosed or suffering alone. Naomi also voices her frustration as she discusses the narrative that perimenopause is a myth and that the prescribing of HRT to women in their early 40's should be normalised. Listen in for an eye opening conversation around this often misunderstood area of women's health.

Regarding the benefits of testosterone beyond libido I need look no further than my neutered tom cat, fat and docile, asleep most of the day, compared to the intact male cat of the same age next door, lean, muscular and agile, glossy coat, exploring several streets away. Rocket science it is not!
