    • Careers

From hot flashes to cramps, perimenopause ain't playin’ around. And let's face it, it's not a topic that usually slips into casual conversations too easily. Figuring out the changes happening during this vital transition period can be downright confusing and totally overwhelming. At first, you'll think it's a fluke, and then once you accept that something might be happening, it could be tough to find the answers you're looking for or even a great doctor in your area. Well luckily for us, this week we've got Dr. Fiona Lovely here to spill all her professional knowledge about perimenopause on our show - including the good stuff, bad stuff and funny stuff. Dr Fiona Lovely is an expert of women’s health at the menopause transition, the creator of the Not Your Mother’s Menopause podcast and senior clinician. Her work is to see women where they are and offer wisdom and guidance through the lens of functional neurology, functional medicine and restorative endocrinology.

‘We are worthy of taking care of ourselves. And for a lot of women that is going to feel so foreign because we have been conditioned to care for others first.” “The closer you get to menopause, the less likely you are to put up with bullshit. There's this emotional reckoning that happens where you're just like ‘enough’!” “In the late thirties, a woman is likely to experience sleep disruption or mood disruption, and those two things are often misdiagnosed as either chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia or depression. And you can imagine there's a litany of medications that go along with that and not a real explanation of what's happening.” “We have to separate the joy from the obligation.”
