The Wisdom Years – Demystifying perimenopause and menopause

In this episode of Women of the Well, Dr Peta Wright and holistic counsellor Sam Lindsay-German are unpacking one of the biggest topics for women in their 40s and 50s – perimenopause and menopause.
There’s a lot of information out there (and a lot of misinformation too), but Dr Peta and Sam explain why this transition doesn’t have to be something to fear.
🎧 Tune in to hear:
🍃 What perimenopause and menopause actually are, and when the changes typically start.
🍃 Sam’s personal experience and the insights Peta has learned from her patients, sharing how symptoms like hot flushes, brain fog, and mood swings can be influenced by stress and lifestyle.
🍃 A brief look at HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) – why it’s one option, but definitely not the only one.
🍃 Why this time of life can be a gateway to more clarity, creativity, and freedom as you step into your “wisdom years.”
Whether you’re just beginning to explore perimenopause or are already in the thick of your transition, this episode is filled with actionable advice and supportive insights to help you navigate it all with more confidence.
