Perimenopause can affect far more than periods, hot flushes and fertility — it can influence pain, tendons, sleep, mood, concentration and overall health.
That’s why this podcast matters to everyone, not just women experiencing perimenopause or menopause. It’s for partners, friends, healthcare practitioners and anyone wanting to better understand women’s health.
As a clinical myotherapist, I see firsthand how complex pain and dysfunction can be, and how many contributing factors we need to consider.
Hormonal changes can significantly influence both physical and mental health. We’re talking about more than hot flushes and irregular periods:
🦴 Changes in tendon and musculoskeletal health, including gluteal tendinopathy and frozen shoulder.
🧠 Brain fog, migraines, concentration changes and ADHD symptoms.
🤍 Anxiety, depression, disrupted sleep and emotional wellbeing.
These symptoms can have multiple causes, but hormonal changes are an important piece of the puzzle.
Perimenopause isn’t simply a reproductive transition. It can affect the entire body.
This episode of The Imperfects, featuring Zoë Foster Blake and Dr Fatima Khan, is well worth a listen.
Whether you’re experiencing these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, give it a listen.
