What Women NEED To Know About Menopause (Before It’s Too Late) – With Lisa Snowdon

Listen to this episode from Is It Hot In Here? Menopause Podcast on Spotify. With so much medical misdirection, how can women get the help they really need during mid-life?In today’s episode of Is It Hot In Here? Dr Naomi Potter is joined by UK broadcaster and model Lisa Snowdon.Lisa’s signs of early menopause were terrifying to her, and missed by medical practitioners failing to recognise the symptoms. It led her on a long, emotionally painful and punishingly expensive journey; she was put on antidepressants and effectively told to suck up aging, she was told she would never have children at a time when she was still considering starting a family, she was treated with a shocking lack of empathy as her symptoms “shape-shifted”.At the time Lisa didn’t know what she needed, or how to properly advocate for herself. So, if you are hoping to understand your mid-life, and how to better equip yourself for conversations around symptoms, make sure you tune in.Follow Lisa Snowdon below:Lisa’s Instagram: @lisa_snowdonLisa’s TikTok: @lisa__snowdonLisa’s podcast We Aren’t Getting Any Older: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/were-not-getting-any-younger/id1771370805Stay up to date with Is It Hot In Here? podcast on Instagram @hotinherepodcast_drnaomipotterFollow Dr. Naomi Potter below:Naomi’s Instagram: @dr_naomipotterNaomi’s TikTok: @dr_naomipotterNaomi’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18evLF7Fep/?mibextid=wwXIfrFor more information and support about menopause, you can go to: https://www.menopausecare.co.uk/Submit a question for Naomi to read at: [email protected]:00 - Lisa Snowdon’s Career and MasterChef Win02:09 - Early Menopause Panic and Anxiety03:54 - Misdiagnosed and Given Antidepressants07:44 - Struggling for a Perimenopause Diagnosis12:08 - Night Sweats, Palpitations, and Relationships15:09 - Menopause Damaged Confidence and Career20:11 - Financial Impact of Untreated Menopause23:12 - Life-Changing Treatment with Dr. Potter32:46 - Fertility, Acceptance, and Societal Pressures39:43 - Audience Q&A: Fertility and Libido Advice#naomipotter #lisasnowdon #menopauseChapters00:00:00 Lisa Snowdon’s Career and MasterChef Win00:02:09 Early Menopause Panic and Anxiety00:03:54 Misdiagnosed and Given Antidepressants00:07:44 Struggling for a Perimenopause Diagnosis00:12:08 Night Sweats, Palpitations, and Relationships00:15:09 Menopause Damaged Confidence and Career00:20:11 Financial Impact of Untreated Menopause00:23:12 Life-Changing Treatment with Dr. Potter00:32:46 Fertility, Acceptance, and Societal Pressures00:39:43 Audience Q&A: Fertility and Libido Advice
