You're not going mad! The truth about perimenopause with Dr Jo Vlies


Listen Later

What if the brain fog, exhaustion, low libido, wild cycle swings and emotional rollercoasters aren’t signs you’re broken… but a totally natural (if messy) phase of life?

In this deeply empowering and practical episode, I sit down with Dr. Jo Vlies, NHS GP and menopause specialist, to bust through the confusion and shame around perimenopause and menopause, and finally talk about what’s really going on.

We cover:
💊 The truth about HRT — when it helps, when it doesn’t
🌿 Why supplements aren’t always the answer
🔥 What happens to libido (and how to reignite it)
🧠 The link between perimenopause and late-diagnosed neurodivergence
💛 How to move through this portal with compassion, clarity and strength

Whether you’re just starting to question if “this might be it” or deep in the weeds of mood crashes, sleepless nights and hot flushes, this one is a balm.

You’re not going mad.
You’re evolving.
