00:00
You mentioned before about menopause and how it affected you so badly.
00:05
Terribly, terribly.
00:06
And no one to talk about it with.
00:08
Eventually I talked to my son because I really felt in a dark place.
00:12
But my mother sailed through the menopause
00:14
and it wasn't something from that era that they really talked about.
00:17
But I got myself living in America.
00:19
I was away from my mum at the time.
00:20
Got myself in a really down and out place.
00:23
I mean, no one seemed to understand me.
00:25
It affected my teaching.
00:27
I go to work every day.
00:28
I was a little bit sharper with everyone.
00:29
A lovely young man called Wrangel took me to one side.
00:33
He said, I don't know what's going on in your life,
00:34
but this isn't the teacher that we're used to.
00:36
And that was a wake-up call.
00:38
And then I spoke to my son.
00:39
He had a doctor.
00:40
And then I did bioidentical hormones and my life changed forever.
00:43
And it just literally pulled you out of that darkness?
00:45
Just to get my body balanced.
00:47
So my body was way unbalanced.
00:50
And now I do that check once a year.
00:52
I get my hormones checked just to make sure even at 65
00:55
that everything's working and functioning and so on.
00:59
I'll see you in the background.
