Welcome
In this episode of Les Histoires Prenato, Alexandra and Charlotte welcome Dr. Catherine Bouchard, a family physician, to talk about perimenopause and hormonal health, a topic that is still far too little known.
We learn that perimenopause can set in 10 to 15 years before menopause, sometimes as early as your thirties, and that it is about much more than hot flashes. Heavier cycles, irritability, sleep problems, anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, libido... Dr. Bouchard explains the two phases (early and late), how to avoid blaming everything on hormones (without overlooking them), and why access to information and care needs to keep improving.
A reassuring, practical episode, full of tools to better understand what is happening during this stage of life and, above all, to know that solutions exist.
