Am I Crazy? Or...

The podcast where I, Lisa Paasche – entrepreneur, businesswoman and general troublemaker – take on all the ways society tries to gaslight us into thinking we’re crazy. This season, we’re tackling perimenopause, the so-called “second spring” – more like “monsoon season” if you ask me. But I’m not doing it alone. Each episode, I chat to a variety of experts, as well as women going through it. We will be digging deeper and giving you the research, practical tips and general reassurance that – don’t worry, you’re not going crazy!

    Everything You Need To Know About HRT - With Dr. Mayura Mahadevan

    What is HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)? When should you start HRT? What does transdermal and body identical HRT mean, and why is it better for you than synthetic HRT? Everyone is different and getting the HRT balance right might take some time. What are some of the common side effects to the different hormones? How long does it typically take to get the dosage and combination right? Can women in Perimenopause be prescribed Testosterone?  Why has HRT got such a bad rep? We talk about the Women's Health Initiative Study that started in 1993 but was halted in 2002 over concerns of increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, strokes and blood clots. This led to confusion and concern from doctors and women and use of HRT fell sharply. It is now clear that the results of this study can’t be applied in modern day. Dr. Mayura Mahadevan from the @Menopausecare Clinic explains why.  Follow Dr. Mayura Mahadevan on instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mayura_menopause.doc/⁠ The Menopause Care Clinic website: ⁠https://www.menopausecare.co.uk/⁠  Follow Menopause Care on instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/menopause_care/⁠   Follow Am I Crazy?
