What actually happens to your hormones during perimenopause? And why might you suddenly feel more anxious, struggle to sleep, lose focus or find yourself reacting differently to everyday stress, long before your first hot flush?
Hormones influence so much more than our reproductive health. They play an important role in how we feel, think, sleep and function every day. Understanding them can be a powerful first step towards feeling better.
In this episode of MenoPositive, Lisa Jedan sits down with Dr Sohère Roked, GP, hormone specialist and integrative medicine doctor, to explore why hormone health is foundational to our overall wellbeing and help women make sense of the early signs of perimenopause.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Early signs of perimenopause: Why anxiety, mood changes, disrupted sleep, brain fog can appear well before any hot flush
• Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone: How these hormones influence your health, energy, mood and wellbeing.
• Cortisol, stress and anxiety: How stress and hormonal changes can interact, and why nervous system regulation is worth understanding.
• HRT: How hormone replacement therapy can help, what it can’t address and why treatment needs to be individualised.
• Practical ways to feel better: Simple approaches to sleep, movement, stress management and Dr Roked's five-minute 'nourishment list'.
• Beyond hormones: How emotional wellbeing, self-awareness and a more holistic approach can help women navigate menopause with greater confidence.
The conversation also explores Dr. Roked's interest in the mind-body connection, psychedelic research and traditional healing practices and why she believes menopause deserves a conversation that goes beyond symptom management.
