About the Effin Hormones podcast
Effin Hormones is four friends discussing those ten years in a woman’s life that lead up to the menopause. The ‘perimenopause’. BUT – it’s about more than that. Basically – if you’re ‘peri’, you’re in our gang. If you think you’re peri, and those symptoms end up being something else – you’re welcome too. If you’re menopausal – you’re in our gang. If you’re a partner, male, female, identifying as male or female – whatever – and you’re living with someone going through this – you’re welcome too! Because this is TOUGH.
DISCLAIMER:
We are NOT health experts.
We share our experiences and call upon the collective wisdom of other women.
Please do seek help from a medical professional for medical advice on perimenopause or menopause.
Happy Listening!
