Mental Health Impacts of Menopause & Perimenopause with Craig Gaunt
In this episode, I speak with Craig Gauntt from the Debbie Gauntt Foundation.
Craig and his family started the foundation in honor of his wife, Debbie, who lost her life to suicide in 2019. A much-loved wife, mother, friend, and colleague, Debbie became severely mentally unwell shortly before her death, an episode that has since been partially attributed to the hormonal effects of perimenopause.
The Debbie Gaunt Foundation was created to build awareness about perimenopause, an often-challenging life event that can have devastating impacts on a woman’s physical and mental health. It is on a mission to ensure every woman feels empowered with the knowledge, resources, and support she needs to be mentally well throughout her transitional adult years.
