1 in 30 women experience early menopausal symptoms. It’s not something most of us think we need to think about until our 50s, but the truth is a very different story.

As women our hormones are constantly changing. From the moment our periods start, we experience symptoms such as PMS and PMDD - but most of us just DEAL WITH IT.

This can lead to many serious health problems being undiagnosed. Sadly it could be a reason for more severe symptoms during the menopause, leading to an increased risk of heart disease, dementia and even early death.

And doctors are denying us treatment. Why aren’t we talking about this?

Joining Sarah to explore the topic, debunk harmful misconceptions and give expert advice on how to manage your hormones at any age is Dr Louise Newson. Louise is a GP, world-leading menopause expert and author of the definitive guide to the perimenopause and menopause.

It’s time to take control of your body.
