Speaker 1: Welcome to Very Perry. I'm annealse Todd. I'm a writer
Speaker 1: here at Mamma Mia, and I am in Perry. Menipose well,
Speaker 1: I think I am like It's hard to know, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a forty two year old single mum,
Speaker 1: constantly wide yet tired. I feel like I'm on my
Speaker 1: last nerve in situations that I used to handle with ease,
Speaker 1: and my period is about as confused as.
Speaker 2: A chameleon at a skittles factory. So we're learning this
Speaker 2: stuff together.
Speaker 1: I will hold your hand if you promise to hold mine.
Speaker 1: So we've brought together twenty five of the world's leading
Speaker 1: experts in women's health to help sort this shit out
Speaker 1: for us and to keep things simple, yes please. We've
Speaker 1: mapped out seven main sessions, each on different pery symptoms.
Speaker 1: There's this session on what is going on? Help my
Speaker 1: vagina is broken? As we look at jenity, rinary syndrome
Speaker 1: and rogue periods, the truth about hormones and HRT, weight
Speaker 1: gain and perry and what to do about it, managing
Speaker 1: the mental load, a sleep boot camp in Reclaim your Nights,
Speaker 1: Yes Please, and loss of identity and how to find
Speaker 1: the right support. Plus a bonus section on sex and
Speaker 1: skin and hair. I'm looking forward to that one. Each
Speaker 1: session features specialist women's healthcare experts as we ask what
Speaker 1: the is going on? Yes, so I would say that
Speaker 1: a great way to think about perrymunipries is purity and
Speaker 1: reverse and then we ask now what with an expert
Speaker 1: panel session discussing management options and actionable steps we can
Speaker 1: do right now. And as a little treat at the
Speaker 1: start of each session, good friend of Mamma Mia, comedian
Speaker 1: Kath Mahoney will be catching up with doctor Ginny Mansburg,
Speaker 1: who is a master at explaining what's going on without
Speaker 1: the confusing medical lingo. Okay, here's Kath and doctor Ginny
Speaker 1: in our first session.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome to Very Perry. I'm doctor Ginny Mansberg. I'm
Speaker 3: a GP mainly of midlife women. I'm also an author
Speaker 3: and I mainly see women about perimenopause symptoms. And if
Speaker 3: some women think that they know exactly what Perry is like,
Speaker 3: it's a bit of hot flushes and maybe a few
Speaker 3: mood things, right, that is just maybe five percent of
Speaker 3: the story. Did you know that there are so many
Speaker 3: other symptoms and before I tell you what they are,
Speaker 3: let me introduce my really good mate Cas.
Speaker 2: Mahoney, we might have had one or two of these.
Speaker 2: I've had quite a lot of those. Yeah, should we
Speaker 2: play Peri Bingo? I would love to play Perry Bingo.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Okay, what have you got? Hit me first?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: What have I got? Well, I've got a bit of
Speaker 2: brain fag.
Speaker 3: Obviously, eighty percent of you will have that, so that's normal.
Speaker 2: Yeay, tick hot sweats. Yeah, about seventy five to eighty
Speaker 2: percent of women.
Speaker 3: We'll get that too, ekey, yes, seventy five percent of women.
Speaker 4: I was like, I just kept doing COVID test, so
Speaker 4: what is wrong with me?
Speaker 2: It's like not COVID?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy. What about things like itchy skin?
Speaker 2: Yes? Really common. Have you ever felt like bunks are
Speaker 2: crawling on your skin?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: But bugs have crawled on my skin.
Speaker 4: But that's because we live in Australia.
Speaker 2: Okay, we can't blame Harry for that. Oh, that's that's
Speaker 2: just the cockcroaches in my building. What about your guts?
Speaker 3: Like, have you been a bit sparty, bit blow ty
Speaker 3: that kind of thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but technically I feel like I've been windy since
Speaker 4: I was born, so I don't know if I can
Speaker 4: put that in the Perry category.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wendy mahoney, No, Windy mahoney. I love that.
Speaker 4: What about palpitations, Yes, which I which are like anxiety causing,
Speaker 4: aren't they?
Speaker 2: I was like, is this a hard to like what's
Speaker 2: going on? Yes?
Speaker 3: For forty two percent of women get palpitations, even unrelated
Speaker 3: to anxiety, which, by the way, in some studies, up
Speaker 3: to sixty five percent of women get like the mood stuff.
Speaker 2: Have you had any of that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I think my teenage son would say yes, that mum
Speaker 4: has had strange rays not being emptied over the Apple
Speaker 4: Core in his bedroom a week later, Perry, or is
Speaker 4: it just having a teenager?
Speaker 2: That's having a teenager and Perry, you are not alone?
Speaker 2: That is so common. Okay. What about your vagina? How
Speaker 2: she going? Well? You know, she's probably a nine out
Speaker 2: of ten.
Speaker 4: She's probably traveling a bit drier than she used to be.
Speaker 2: Is that normal?
Speaker 3: Tick?
Speaker 2: Love that one for you.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. What about migraines. Have you had migraine?
Speaker 4: Yes, but I've always had hormonal migraines.
Speaker 2: Tinatus, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: Up to thirty percent of people get tinatus, which is
Speaker 3: the ringing in your ears, but also like vertigo, which
Speaker 3: I think is a really weird symptom, but it's so, so,
Speaker 3: so common. But we've got forty symptoms now that have
Speaker 3: all been attributed to perimenopause, some of which we can
Speaker 3: explain with biology, some of which you've got no idea
Speaker 3: why they happen. But if you are one of the
Speaker 3: people who's actually experiencing all of that, we have got
Speaker 3: you because we are having all of the main experts.
Speaker 2: They're going to be here talking to us.
Speaker 3: Explaining everything, but most importantly like what you can do
Speaker 3: about it, So you're not left standing there going I
Speaker 3: have no idea what is my next step.
Speaker 2: You are going to feel empowered.
Speaker 3: You're going to feel like you are so glad that
Speaker 3: you have joined upcause you're going to have a plan
Speaker 3: and a path forward.
Speaker 4: Love this for us.
Speaker 2: Thanks Genny.
Speaker 1: Justa reminded that doctor Jenny is a doctor, but she's
Speaker 1: not your doctor, and information discussed in this session is
Speaker 1: general in nature.
Speaker 2: Please speak with your own health care provider.
Speaker 1: Okay, settle yourself in because in the next session on
Speaker 1: what the is going on, we have international perimenopause expert
Speaker 1: doctor Etuner Johnson shog Pratun explaining it's not all doom
Speaker 1: and gloom. So the more knowledge and the more prepared
Speaker 1: you are to be able to navigate this fees, I
Speaker 1: actually let you realize that it is something that can
Speaker 1: we celebrate.
Speaker 2: It can even be enjoyed.
