TV presenter Cherry Healey has had an unexpected perimenopause journey. At age 40, she was hit with debilitating anxiety and heart palpitations, which led her to nearly seek antidepressants before discovering her symptoms were hormonal.
In this episode of Well Enough, Cherry discusses the misdiagnosis crisis facing women in their forties, the connection between depleting estrogen and UTIs (including her own life-threatening sepsis scare), and why she believes perimenopause is actually "the main event", not menopause itself.
