Summary

Lorraine & Trish discuss the midlife hormone whammy & why - just when life is peak hectic - your body seems to start doing its best to disrupt you even more. The duo revisit a previous episode’s interview with leading endocrinologist Dr Annice Mukherjee about the hormone fluctuations that affect women in midlife, from peri-menopause to underactive thyroid and adrenal burnout as well as the impact of surgical and chemical menopause. Dr Mukherjee also talks about her own breast cancer diagnosis & how she successfully managed menopause symptoms as she was unable to take HRT.
