In this episode of Raising Healthy Mothers, I share a story I came across of a mum in her early 40s who was told to go on antidepressants and have CBT when she went to her GP with what she thought was symptoms of perimenopause and was wondering about HRT.

This was a frustrating experience for her, so in this episode I talk about:

• Why symptoms of perimenopause can start earlier than many expect
• What's happening with your hormones beneath the surface
• How symptoms like brain fog, migraines and anxiety reflect your body recalibrating, not breaking down
• Why short appointment times make it tricky for GPs to fully explore what's going on at an early stage
• The small nutrition and lifestyle tweaks that can help you feel more balanced and resilient

If you are noticing changes in your cycle, mood or energy, please do speak to your GP, and if you would like support to explore the nutrition and lifestyle side of perimenopause, you can find out more about working with me 1:1 at tashadcruz.com.
