Description

Can you be ‘too young’ to be menopausal? Menopause has been positioned in society as something that means you’re ageing. It means you’re getting old, past it, and it’s led to so many women feeling inadequate and past their prime when they shift into the menopause season of life.

Thankfully this perception and stigma of menopause is shifting, however there’s still an attitude in younger women, and even women in their mid to late forties, that they’re too young to think about it, or make any shifts to their lifestyle and habits to better protect their health and prepare for their menopausal transition.

Suzie Martin is with me today to talk about how she started to experience perimenopausal symptoms in her thirties and how it’s affected her overall health, wellbeing and happiness. We explore why all women need the right knowledge around menopause to support themselves but also how every woman, regardless of their age, should be prioritising their health to support the changes menopause brings.

In our conversation we talk about:

• How perimenopause showed up for Suzie.
• The challenges in knowing if what you’re experiencing is menopause related or due to the stresses and strains of normal life, and why this can be even harder to identify when you’re younger.
• The importance of advocating for yourself when seeking help for your symptoms and changes.
• What early and premature menopause are.
• Lifestyle changes that can help support your health and wellbeing.
• The empowering effect menopause can offer many women.
• Suzie’s advice on what 3 simple steps you can take to build better habits for strong health for all women.
