    The Hormone Truth: Perimenopause, HRT & Why Women Are Being Let Down | Dr Fiona Downie

    This week on Keeping It Real, K is joined by Dr Fiona Downie — GP turned women's health specialist and founder of The Menopause Medic — for one of the most honest, no-nonsense conversations we've ever had on this podcast. If you've ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed by the noise around perimenopause and menopause, this episode is for you. We cover absolutely everything: 🔹 Why the "skinny is healthy" trend is back — and why it's dangerous for midlife women 🔹 The rise of midlife eating disorders and the RED-S crisis nobody's talking about 🔹 The wild west of supplements, detox teas and the "gold rush niche" preying on confused women 🔹 HRT — body identical vs synthetic, estrogen, progesterone and the testosterone debate 🔹 Why vaginal estrogen should be free over the counter 🔹 The real reason your libido has changed (hint: it's not just hormones) 🔹 Why Fiona left the NHS — and what a proper women's health consultation actually looks like 🔹 Alcohol and perimenopause — the truth 🔹 Alzheimer's, bone density, cardiovascular health and the silent benefits of HRT Chapters: 00:00 Introduction01:13 Social Media & Body Image11:22 Midlife Eating Disorders & Supplements18:23 Energy Deficiency & Perimenopause38:53 HRT Deep Dive56:22 Testosterone58:55 Sex, Libido & Relationships01:04:28 Quick Fire Questions01:12:47 HRT & Alcohol01:26:45 How to Find FionaFind Dr Fiona Downie: Instagram: @themenopausemedic Website: www.themenopausemedic.com
