"How Can Someone Who Drinks So Little Water Produce so much Fluid?!"

Our guest for the first episode of Season Five is Jewellery
Creative and founder of eponymous brand AngeB Designs, Angela
Benjamin.


West London based Ange (pronounced in one syllable) of Grenadian
heritage tells us how she first realised that she was entering
peri-menopause in her early fifties and just when the first
lockdown began, and the trials that ensued.


Years later, Ange feels that she has a good handle on her own
menopause care, thanks to a combination of factors that she
shares with honesty.


We discuss,


> physical vs mental symptoms


> Trying to do it all ‘naturally’.


> Fibroids


> To HRT or not to HRT?


>  Releasing food shame.


 


And much more!
