Have you ever felt like your body is being hijacked by your hormones? Could this be perimenopause? Host Amelia Phillips and hormone specialist Steph Lowe discuss the signs and symptoms to look out for. They drill into the nine top symptoms, the tests you can get, and the different stages of perimenopause (which often aren't differentiated).
Steph then gives us clear strategies to how we can manage our symptoms, from nutrition tips to lifestyle, supplement and body identical hormones.
