00:00I think perimenopause is the main event so women just put up with it my mom said to me
00:05she said I never you know I didn't and I've heard this from a lot of women saying you know
00:09I
00:09you know I just I went through menopause so menopause is when you haven't had a period for
00:14a year that means you are in menopause and um the bit beforehand the 10 years the 10
00:22years beforehand in your 40s which is like your golden era um you know it's a big chapter of a
00:29woman's life it should be bloody brilliant so that is a big chapter when your hormones start
00:34changing and for some women it doesn't you know your hormones don't change your 50 for some it
00:38starts at 35 you know this is also when women are making their money this is when women are digging
00:44into their careers we are starting to create financial independence for ourselves and the
00:49best thing you can do for your safety and your quality of life is to earn your own money hands
00:56down it means that you can get a taxi late at night it means you can leave a relationship that's
01:01not right it means you can buy a safer apartment it means that you can go to the doctor and
01:06you can
01:06get a private check if you really need one the level of safety that woman gives herself when she
01:11creates her own independence whether she's married in a partnership whatever and staying in work
01:18is absolutely critical for women and being able to control your hormonal symptoms is critical for
01:27that if a woman's experienced brain fog depression anxiety she's most she's likely to either change her
01:34job or leave her job and it's very difficult to get back into the workforce once you leave because
01:37your confidence goes you're not sure about your network so we must keep women in work and that's when
01:43we must help women to not this nothing women have been told i think that you need five symptoms in
01:50order to go on hrt that you need to be on the floor like on the floor crying in order
01:57to go to the doctor

02:15can ask for hrt and if they say no come back in a year when you've got more symptoms you
02:20can ask for a second
