Description
Angela and Kate Muir look at the profound impact of perimenopause on women's mental health, particularly for those with a history of conditions like postpartum depression, who may be more sensitive to hormonal fluctuations.
Kate explains the neurological changes during menopause using the analogy of "Inside Out" characters, highlighting how the decline of key hormones like oestrogen (joyful) and progesterone (calming) and the resulting increase in cortisol can lead to symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and brain fog, severely affecting confidence and productivity
