Lately, all I do is talk about perimenopause and the injustice of women’s healthcare. I’ve been a whole lot of fun to be around. The day we are born, we have all the eggs in our basket, so to speak (or one to two million oocytes in our ovaries, if you want to be specific). By the time we are 30, we have 10 per cent of those eggs, and by the time we are 40, we have just three per cent left. As our eggs dwindle, our oestrogen and progesterone levels start to lower as well. This is perimenopause…

Should your body’s own processes be causing more harm…
