Your body starts changing in your 40s and 50s—and suddenly nothing feels the same. The sleep issues. The brain fog. The fatigue. The “what is happening to me?” moments. In this episode of Midlife Mix, Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe—family physician and one of Canada’s leading voices in menopause care—breaks down what’s actually going on in your body during perimenopause and menopause. We get into: • The truth about HRT (MHT)—who it’s really for • The symptoms you shouldn’t ignore • Why women have been dismissed in healthcare for years • How to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office • What’s actually worth your money (and what’s not) • Sex, libido, and why things change (and what you can do) This is the conversation every woman needs before assuming “it’s just aging.” 👉 Because you don’t have to just live with it. 👇 Tell me in the comments: what changed FIRST for you in midlife?

Midlife changes everything—your body, your hormones, your relationships… and your sex life. In this episode of Midlife Mix, I sit down with renowned sexologist Dr. Jessica O’Reilly to unpack what’s really happening during perimenopause and menopause—and why so many women feel completely blindsided by it. From sudden drops in libido to unexpected spikes in desire, we get into the physical, emotional, and relational shifts that can leave women feeling disconnected from their bodies—and their partners. We talk about: * Why libido can disappear (and how to rebuild it) * The “roommate phase” in long-term relationships * How stress, hormones, and mental load impact desire * Why sex is often the symptom, not the problem * The real benefits of self-pleasure in midlife * How to reconnect—with your body and your partner If you’ve ever thought, “What is happening to me?”—this conversation will make you feel a lot less alone.
