Many women enter their 40s expecting a few hormonal changes, but are often unprepared for the anxiety, sleep disturbances, fatigue, low mood, histamine symptoms, weight changes, and nervous system shifts that can accompany perimenopause.
In this episode, Joanne shares her clinical and personal experience working with women through perimenopause and menopause, including her own journey with bioidentical oestrogen and progesterone. She discusses the signs of low oestrogen and progesterone, the limitations of standard hormone testing, and how bioidentical hormone therapy may support women during this transition.
You'll learn:
The difference between perimenopause and menopause
Common symptoms of low oestrogen and low progesterone
How hormonal changes can influence histamine intolerance and mast cell activation
Why hormone blood tests don't always tell the full story
The potential benefits and challenges of bioidentical oestrogen and progesterone
The connection between hormones, anxiety, sleep, mood, energy, libido, and weight
Why hormone therapy should be individualised rather than one-size-fits-all
Whether you're navigating perimenopause yourself or supporting women through this stage of life, this episode offers practical insights to help you better understand the relationship between hormones, histamine, and healthy ageing.
