I Weigh - How To Menopause with Tamsen Fadal

Jameela is joined for some hard truths about menopause by author & journalist Tamsen Fadal (How to Menopause) this week. They talk about the hidden impact menopause has had on women’s lives, including lost wages, disrupted careers, relationship breaks ups, and emotional strain. Tamsen talks through raising awareness about perimenopause (the years before menopause) and the lack of support & knowledge about symptoms from healthcare providers today. This is an eye opening conversation about a chapter of life that will affect half of the world’s population (and everyone born with a uterus!)
