    BEST MOMENTS

    "I felt like me again and I suddenly thought maybe throughout my life I've had hormone imbalances that have held me back because of the anxiety that you get with a hormone change."

    "It's taken me five years through my journey to get to a really good place. HRT is not one fits all. There are so many different types, we absorb differently."

    "I'm sharp, I'm there, I'm that powerhouse woman, and all of a sudden I'm a lesser version of myself. My brain has just gone to mush. My forgetfulness is just off the chart."

    "Going through the menopause really gave me my self-belief. I'm not the same because I don't think even when I was younger I had the self-belief and self-worth that I've got now."

    "When we are stressed and the body doesn't know the difference between real stress or perceived stress your body will prioritise your stress hormones, cortisol, over your sex hormones."

    "I would very often come into the office and go, 'I'm really hormonal today, guys. I'm just letting you know I might be snappy.' Because if people don't know how you are feeling, how do they know how to behave around you?"

    "I'm now gonna be doing my coaching full-time and my podcasting full-time... once you go through the menopause and you get a hold of it, you have this inspirational light comes out."

    "Sit with yourself, acknowledge yourself. Recognise all the good stuff that you've done, and the reasons why you are feeling the way you are feeling. Are they true or are you creating a narrative in your head that's not true?"

  • The Symptoms of Perimenopause & How To Manage It with Gemma Crane

    The Symptoms of Perimenopause & How To Manage It with Gemma Crane
    Apr 16 2025
    Michelle talks to Gemma Crane, who shares her personal journey through perimenopause, discussing its impact on her daily life and work as a mindset coach. Gemma emphasises the importance of seeking support, navigating healthcare, and the challenges faced by women in the workplace. Michelle and Gemma's conversation explores everything from symptom recognition to treatment options, with Gemma giving advice on lifestyle changes and advocating for proper healthcare. Gemma Reveals The differences between perimenopause and menopauseHow perimenopause begins and its symptomsWhy HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) isn't a one-size-fits-all solutionWhy women need individualised treatment plansWhy many women dismiss perimenopause symptomsTestosterone is an essential but often overlooked hormone for womenHow lifestyle changes can complement hormonal treatmentsThe ways women can advocate for themselves in healthcare settingsThe education gap between perimenopause and menopause and why the general public and healthcare need better education BEST MOMENTS "Perimenopause can start from your late thirties. I often tell women it's like being a teenager again, your hormones are all over the place, you're moody, you can't sleep, but you're not a teenager anymore, you've got responsibilities." "HRT isn't just about replacing oestrogen. Many women need progesterone as well, and testosterone is often the missing piece of the puzzle. It's about creating a bespoke treatment plan tailored to each woman's individual needs." "The majority of women walk around having no idea they're perimenopausal. They think they're going mad, their GP tells them they're depressed, they're put on antidepressants, and nobody makes the connection to hormones." "We need to stop accepting that feeling awful is just part of being a woman. Brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety, joint pain, these aren't things you should just put up with because you're getting older." "Testosterone isn't just a male hormone. Women produce it too and replacing it appropriately can make a world of difference to energy, brain function, and yes, libido, without any worries about growing a beard!" "I've had women come to me in tears because they've been told they're too young for menopause or that their blood tests are normal so it can't be hormones. But a blood test is just a snapshot in time, and hormones fluctuate wildly during perimenopause." "The medical model focuses on the absence of periods as the definition of menopause, but for women, it's about the symptoms they're experiencing, often for years before their periods stop completely." "If you feel like something isn't right, trust your instincts. Keep a symptom diary, research, ask questions, and find a healthcare provider who will listen. You know your body better than anyone else."
