Description

In this episode of Change Your Opinion, we dive into a conversation that so many women are having—but not always being heard. From brain fog and anxiety to weight gain, sleep issues, and mood changes, are these symptoms being taken seriously… or brushed off? We explore whether women are being properly supported, why so many feel dismissed, and what needs to change in the way perimenopause and menopause are understood and treated. It’s honest, it’s real, and it might just change your opinion. Australasian Menopause Society (AMS) [https://www.menopause.org.au/]
