“It’s time for women to be their own health advocate”
Feeling hot and bothered, unable to remember simple things, feeling sad and not sleeping?
These are some of the things Shirley Weir experienced in her late 30’s early 40’s. She turned to Dr Google and discovered what she was experiencing wasn’t ‘something wrong’ it was peri-menopause; the phase leading up to menopause that can last anywhere from 5 – 15 years.
The more Shirley learned about peri-menopause the more she felt overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information on the internet. What she really wanted was a place where she could go to ask other women about their experiences and ask questions of experts…but there wasn’t any such place.
