#28: Feel Better During Perimenopause and Beyond [GUEST POSTCAST APPEARANCE]

podcast Jan 10, 2020

You might remember that a few weeks ago, we welcomed the lovely women’s health coach Lori Massicot to the podcast.

[If you missed it, listen here: #26: How Being Sober Can Enrich Your Life at Midlife]

In that episode, Lori shared her story of how she found alcoholism creeping up on her (even though she didn’t think she drank much at all!) and discussed the massive effect that alcohol had on her hormones, her happiness and her entire life.

Then it was my turn to appear as a guest on Lori’s podcast To 50 and Beyond.

We sat down together and talked about everything from hormonal health, why those blood tests you get from your GP aren’t always to be believed, why antidepressants aren’t always the answer and so much more besides.

I also share more details on my own struggles with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, how I was treated by the medical profession and how I finally reached full health again.

If you’re sick of feeling like you can never top up your energy levels, you’re determined to change your life in 2020 or you want to gain useful insight into hormonal health in your 40s and beyond, this is the perfect podcast episode for you.
