The Doc Talk Podcast
Dr. Shazma Mithani and Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe have spent years navigating the health care system. Not just as doctors for their patients, but as moms for their kids, and patients themselves. And they know it's not always straightforward.
Every two weeks they'll take a real question from a real patient, and provide in-depth answers with a clear path to action, with help from other trusted experts.
No jargon. No time wasted. Just real talk about real issues from two doctors who've seen it all. And they'll give you the inside scoop on how to navigate the health care system like a pro.
This is The Doc Talk.

28. Perimenopause: What’s Happening to Me?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and at times overwhelming and most of us aren’t taught what to expect.
We usually start with a listener question, but this time, it’s Dr. Shaz asking Dr. Sheila all the real-world questions about perimenopause. The ones patients bring to clinic every day. The ones many are Googling at 2 a.m.
From symptoms to lifestyle shifts to medication options and how to know what’s right for you, we break it down clearly and practically.
Perimenopause isn’t just about hormones, it’s about being heard.
We talk about how to prepare for appointments, what to ask, when to investigate further, and how to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn’t always prioritize midlife women’s health.
You deserve evidence-based information.
You deserve options.
You deserve care that takes your symptoms seriously.
With the right support, this phase can be navigated with clarity and confidence.
Tune in and share with someone who needs this conversation.
We’re in this with you.
