Dr Louanne Brizendine - The Upgrade - Getting the most out of Peri to Post Menopause

Dr Louann Brizendine is Professor of Neuropsychiatry at the University of California, SF, Founder of the Women’s Mood & Hormone Clinic and Author of The Male Brain, The Female Brain and The Upgrade. If you haven’t read The Upgrade already - please do! It is the most positive, informative and relatable book I have come across so far and is packed full of useful information on how to get the very best out of this phase of life. “Being true to yourself is something we have all been so hungry for.” In this episode, we discuss what happens when you sleep - and how to get more of it, why mood swings happen, what is going on in our brains and bodies with irregular periods, arguments for consideration with regards to HRT, sensitivity to heat changes and I get properly called out when it comes to coffee! “A key piece in your toolbag?… saying ‘Let me finish this first’.” You can find Louann on Instagram @louannbrizendine & on her website https://louannbrizendine.com and The Upgrade can be found in all the usual places. I cannot recommend it highly enough :-)
