In this episode, we bring in actual medical muscle — Dr. Chrissy du Plessis — to answer the big questions: what’s the difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why is your period ghosting you? Expect:
Sleep chaos and rogue hormones
Mood wobbles and menopausal maths
Puberty flashbacks (sorry)
HRT and hot takes
While Chrissy is a qualified GP, this podcast is for info and laughs not medical advice. Everyone’s menopause journey is different, so if you’re dealing with symptoms or have questions, please speak to a healthcare professional. We’re here to share stories, not prescribe solutions!
