Hot flushes. Sleepless nights. Mood swings. A body that suddenly seems to be rewriting its own rules. Is this menopause? Perimenopause? And what on earth is happening to me?

Menopause doesn’t ease in — it storms in, unannounced, unpredictable and determined to rearrange everything.

In this first episode of Bloody Menopause, Teresa Silva gets real about entering menopause and the symptoms and changes that can come with this hormonal transition — including hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, emotional changes and a body that seems to update itself without asking permission.

We talk, with honesty, humour and a little science, about:

• menopause and perimenopause
• early signs and symptoms of menopause
• hot flushes and night sweats
• insomnia and disrupted sleep
• mood swings and emotional changes
• hormonal changes and a changing body
• that bewildering “What on earth is happening to me?” feeling

Because menopause is more than the end of periods. It’s a major life and hormonal transition that can affect sleep, mood, energy, body and how we feel in our own skin.

If you thought you were the only one wondering what the hell was happening, welcome. You’re not.

Unfiltered. Honest. Human.
With real life, information and the humour that keeps us going when things get messy.
