Today we’re diving into a topic that affects women eventually — What They Don’t Tell You About... Perimenopause & Menopause. We’re joined by Dr. Alice Scott, GP and British Menopause Society specialist (and Emily’s own doctor), for a myth-busting, info-packed, and empowering conversation about hormones, symptoms, and support.

In this episode, we’ll cover:
  • What perimenopause actually is — and why so many women don’t realise they’re in it
  • The truth about HRT, weight gain, low libido, and mental health
  • The most common (and misunderstood) symptoms
  • How partners can support without stepping on eggshells
  • What lifestyle changes actually help — and why exercise isn’t just about losing weight
  • When to see a doctor, how to advocate for yourself, and what questions to ask
This is one of our most requested topics — and whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s or just planning ahead, Dr. Alice’s expert advice, warmth and clarity make this an essential listen.
