What inspired you to focus your clinical practice on perimenopause and women's hormonal health?

Well, it's been a journey.

So I was a GP working in a very busy practice with a very complicated patient load.

So I work in my local area.

I'd sometimes see, you know, maybe 30 patients a day and having worked there for a long time, had very complex patients.

I like complexity.

So everyone would refer all the difficult cases to me.

When it comes to navigating perimenopause, what role do you think lifestyle factors like stress management, social connection and mindset actually play?
