Manage episode 484806494 series 3327855
In this week’s episode Natalie is joined by GP & Hormone Specialist Dr Sohère Roked to talk the importance of hormonal balance in midlife and how adopting a holistic approach to our wellbeing could be the key to a smoother, happier menopause.
Discussing the vital role that testosterone plays in a women’s overall health and wellbeing, Sohère shares her expert insight on how she works with her patients to optimise their hormones, unpacking the different versions of HRT and giving a detailed description of her approach from diagnosis to treatment. She remarks that in order for women to receive the best care it’s imperative that they actively get in tune with their bodies, tracking cycles, mood and sleep in order to provide their doctor with as much information as possible in order for them to receive most informed and effective treatment.
Later in the conversation Dr Roked busts the myths around pregnancy in perimenopause with Sohère again providing an in depth account of how women in perimenopause become pregnant and how the right hormonal care can help with fertility. The pair also discuss the common concern of low libido in perimenopause and menopause with Sohère detailing that whilst HRT can be helpful it is advisable to consider all aspects of our wellbeing to address this symptom.
Shining a light on mental health in mid life, Dr Roked notes she often recommends wellbeing practices before medication and the importance of considering the negative impacts of alcohol as we approach mid life.
