0:02:24.674 --> 0:02:28.554
<v Speaker 3>and I mainly see women about perimenopause symptoms and hef

0:02:28.634 --> 0:02:31.674
<v Speaker 3>some women think that they know exactly what Perry is like.

0:02:31.834 --> 0:02:34.073
<v Speaker 3>It's a bit of hot flushes and maybe a few

0:02:34.114 --> 0:02:37.874
<v Speaker 3>mood things. Right, that is just maybe five percent of

0:02:37.914 --> 0:02:40.234
<v Speaker 3>the story. Did you know that there are so many

0:02:40.234 --> 0:02:42.834
<v Speaker 3>other symptoms. And before I tell you what they are,

<v Speaker 3>get that too, key, Yes, seventy five percent of women.

0:03:10.514 --> 0:03:12.434
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I just kept doing COVID tests, I said,

0:03:20.514 --> 0:03:23.314
<v Speaker 3>Really common. Have you ever felt like bunks are crawling

0:03:23.314 --> 0:03:23.874
<v Speaker 3>on your skin?

0:03:24.754 --> 0:03:26.754
<v Speaker 1>No? But bugs have crawled on my skin. But that's

0:03:26.754 --> 0:03:29.194

<v Speaker 3>What about your guts? Like, have you been a bit sparty,

0:03:36.154 --> 0:03:37.634
<v Speaker 3>bit blowty that kind of thing?

0:03:38.194 --> 0:03:41.194
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but technically I feel like I've been windy since

0:03:41.234 --> 0:03:43.074
<v Speaker 1>I was born, so I don't know if I can

0:03:43.114 --> 0:03:44.474
<v Speaker 1>put that in the Perry category.

0:03:44.594 --> 0:03:46.874
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Wendy mahoney, No, Windy mahoney. I love that.

0:03:47.714 --> 0:03:53.194
<v Speaker 1>What about palpitations, Yes, which I which are like anxiety causing,

0:03:53.194 --> 0:03:53.554
<v Speaker 1>aren't they?

0:03:53.754 --> 0:03:54.594

<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Yeah?

0:03:56.314 --> 0:04:00.114
<v Speaker 3>Forty two percent of women get palpitations, even unrelated to anxiety, which,

0:04:00.394 --> 0:04:03.394
<v Speaker 3>by the way, in some studies, up to sixty five

0:04:03.474 --> 0:04:05.434
<v Speaker 3>percent of women get like the mood stuff. Have you

0:04:05.474 --> 0:04:06.114
<v Speaker 3>had any of that?

0:04:06.794 --> 0:04:06.954
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:04:06.994 --> 0:04:10.194
<v Speaker 1>I think my teenage son would say, yes, that mum

0:04:10.354 --> 0:04:15.994
<v Speaker 1>has had strange rage not being emptied over the Apple

0:04:16.034 --> 0:04:18.474
<v Speaker 1>Core in his bedroom a week later. Is it Perry

0:04:18.514 --> 0:04:19.634
<v Speaker 1>or is it just having a teenager?

0:04:19.993 --> 0:04:22.633
<v Speaker 3>That's having a teenager and Perry, you are not alone.

0:04:22.634 --> 0:04:23.954
<v Speaker 3>That is so common.

0:04:24.274 --> 0:04:24.634
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:04:24.753 --> 0:04:27.354
<v Speaker 3>What about your vagina? How she going? Well?

0:04:27.393 --> 0:04:31.594
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's probably a nine out of ten. She's

0:04:31.633 --> 0:04:33.753
<v Speaker 1>probably traveling a bit drier than.

0:04:33.674 --> 0:04:34.193
<v Speaker 2>She used to be.

0:04:34.354 --> 0:04:34.953
<v Speaker 4>Is that normal?

0:04:35.113 --> 0:04:35.354
<v Speaker 1>Tick?

0:04:35.594 --> 0:04:39.433
<v Speaker 3>Love that one for you. That's awesome. What about migraines.

0:04:39.474 --> 0:04:40.393
<v Speaker 3>Have you had migraine?

0:04:40.794 --> 0:04:46.834
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but I've always had hormonal migraines tinatus, Yes, yeah,

0:04:46.914 --> 0:04:49.433
<v Speaker 1>up to thirty percent of people get tinatus, which is

0:04:49.474 --> 0:04:51.034
<v Speaker 1>the ringing in your ears, but also.

0:04:50.834 --> 0:04:53.793
<v Speaker 3>Like vertigo, which I think is a really weird symptom,

0:04:53.834 --> 0:04:57.073
<v Speaker 3>but it's so, so, so common. But we've got forty

0:04:57.154 --> 0:05:02.194
<v Speaker 3>symptoms now that have all been attributed to perimenopause, some

0:05:02.234 --> 0:05:04.553
<v Speaker 3>of which we can explain with biology, some of which

0:05:04.553 --> 0:05:08.034
<v Speaker 3>you've got no idea why they happen. But if you

0:05:08.393 --> 0:05:10.914
