Am I at the Menopause?
Menopause, Symptoms, Early Menopause, Vaginal, Bladder and Period problems
Menopause Myths v Reality Series 6 of the Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk podcast is released today. Together Dr Heather Currie MBE and Ruth Devlin cut through the misinformation and give you the facts on menopause symptom management. They chat with leading UK endocrinologist Dr. Annice Mukherjee to separate sense from the "bonkers" advice out there.
In this episode, they cover:
The Menopause Transition: Understand how your hormones shift and eventually reach a stable equilibrium.
The Big Picture: Why overall health, simple lifestyle tweaks, and self-care are essential tools.
The Truth About HRT: An individualized approach is essential—HRT isn't for everyone, and it’s not just about estrogen.
Weight Loss Jabs & Metabolic Health: The real benefits, risks, and safe usage of these medications.
Individual Journeys: Why you should avoid a one-size-fits-all mindset and the dangers of cherry-picking advice.
Measuring Hormone Levels
Measuring hormone levels to monitor HRT is rarely helpful. Hormone levels fluctuate significantly, what is measured from a blood test does not reflect what is going on around the body within cells, there is not a target level to aim for, and there is much more to control of symptoms and how you feel than the blood level of estrogen.
