  I also think that the generation going through this right now - Gen X - have a different lifestyle from our parents. We’re trying to do it all, big jobs, having children later, ageing parents living longer and we’re adding all this to our load. This adds more stress to our lives and our nervous systems go into this phase ready in overdrive.

  I am a person of colour, I have struggled so  much with my symptoms , the most frightening was suicidal thoughts, despair and no motivation . for me reaching out for help is so hard , my cries for help are minimised or dismissed. My culture and family system doesnt offer much support or even talk about menopause. Listening to your podcast has been so beneficial for me. I just hope things get better with all this education on menopause . Thank you

  ADHD and the menopause.  I felt like a chaotic teenager again, had to relearn all my hacks to get through the day. My ADHD symptoms worsened. HRT patches saved me.

  Davina I love what you have done for me and perimenopause women, my husband was driving to work some years back and heard your brave conversations for you and all women around menopause, came home bravely to discuss it, it was then I followed you and thank you for me starting to understand me and my body, 8 weeks ago I started the Zoe programme, this then added for me an extra layer in this quality of life, I am falling in love with food, the programme and me again. I listened to this brilliant pod cast today and I love you more. Zoe you have made me understand the organic me which is having a huge impact on the visual me, I love and recommend highly this programme, in 8 weeks I am 21lbs down, more energy and my perimenopause symptoms less. <br>THANK YOU DAVINA AND ZOE SO MUCH ❤XXXX

  I lost all the fat in my face too and the veiled comments from women is awful. Why do some women judge others especially our faces and bodies? Why don&apos;t women talk about the real issues rather than the superficial skin changes? I have a mother but she didn&apos;t want to talk about it nor help her daughters. &nbsp;Don&apos;t know why. It seems some people are more concerned about weight and looks and not about health and wellbeing. Glad women are talking more . I changed my diet to a whole food plant based and boy oh boy what a difference. I had no hrt choice at the time but the diet change in 2016 made loads of differences. I increased my soya intake with cooked soya beans and tofu. I&apos;m following the daily dozen app and I hope there&apos;s others doing the same. Eventually I did go on hrt gel and progestogen pills to help with muscles and bone health. I&apos;m stronger, slimmer, fitter and mentally happy now at 59 than I was at 29. Access to sound information is critical.

  I had an emergency full hysterectomy at age 24 and I kept asking doctors every time I got near them after that if I should be on HRT because of the emergency full hysterectomy and I was told over and over again year after year NO! you don&apos;t need that until you are much older, They would tell me all the symptoms I had because I was fat. The harder I tried to lose weight the more depressed I got. <br>I nearly killed myself at age 45 and while I was in the hospital after that someone finally said you&apos;re in menopause and we need to start you on HRT. I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain now at age 55. I changed my diet and I swim almost every day. I feel better now than I have most of my life I gave up on Doctors and had to go down the rabbit hole to find the info I needed. With the brain fog I have was really hard to do. I am so glad there are so many more people researching this and talking about more and more. At least I know my own daughter and all women will be better prepared for what they will be going through soon enough. Doctors need to learn a lot more about this.

  Thank you, it is really good we are discussing menopause. &nbsp;But those of us who are in post menopause (I am 67) completely missed out on discussions on perimenopause, because there were none! There are many many of us who have gone through menopause but are left with a huge baggage of cholesterol, weight gain, fatigueness, melasma, metabolic issues, osteoporosis, low Vit D, splitting nails, etc etc to name &quot;just a few&quot; symptoms. &nbsp;My doctor just put me on cholesterol medication and Prolia injections! &nbsp;Please do not leave us out, discuss our post menopausal issues too, and guide us.

  The driving at night is one that made me feel like I was loosing my mind in the rain at night I didn’t know how I got home, &nbsp;I had to drink a lot of wine to self medicate. &nbsp;I had to change to doing a local job. &nbsp;I had to take a break insomnia was bad I had no sleep for a week. &nbsp;I went to my sympathetic gp who put me on anti depressants. &nbsp;The break and the tablets did help but nothing was mentioned about menopause. &nbsp;It took ages for me to go and get HRT due to brain fog and hair loss and now on it.<br> It definitely meeds quite a bit of tweaking as it’s difficult to know how much is too much etc. &nbsp;Moving forward it’s going to be so much easier for the generations coming up as more people take it the research will help. &nbsp;I workout every day and I eat really well and that definitely helps❤
