What No One Prepares You For Before Menopause | ObGyn Dr. Brigid Monda Talks Perimenopause

From brain fog, hot flashes, poor sleep mood changes, weight gain to changes in intimacy could be early signs of perimenopause. Dr. Brigid Monda breaks down what every woman should know about the hormonal transitions that shape midlife. Did you know, #perimenopause can begin as early as 35. Yet most women don't know what it is, what it feels like, or how to recognize the signs.In this episode of Be That Woman, I sit down with OB/GYN & Menopause Practitioner, Dr. Brigid Monda, to unpack one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman's life: perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.We explore what is actually happening in the female body from a medical perspective, the signs women shouldn't ignore, the role of hormones like oestrogen, and how these changes can impact relationships, intimacy, confidence, and overall wellbeing.We also discuss why menopause remains such a silent conversation in many communities, what women can do to navigate this transition with knowledge, support and confidence and how you can reach Dr. Brigid, a menopause practitioner directly.
