In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips asks leading menopause educator and GP Dr Ceri Cashell the questions on every midlife woman's lips – 'Should I consider HRT? Is now the right time to start if my symptoms aren't too severe? And what does treatment even look like, anyway?'
They discuss what's happening as you transition from perimenopause through to post-menopause, the most common peri and menopause symptoms Dr Ceri sees clinically, how hormonal shifts can dramatically impact mood, and all the ins and outs of HRT – including Dr Ceri's advice for finding a great women's health doctor.
About the guest:
Dr Ceri Cashell is a Sydney GP and co-founder of Healthy Hormones, Australia's leading evidence-based menopause education platform. A passionate speaker and advocate, she brings curiosity, compassion and a touch of comedy on her mission to create true gender equity in healthcare: educating both women and the clinicians who care for them. Instead of a midlife crisis, her team put menopause on the world stage at the Sydney Opera House, redefining the conversation for women everywhere.
