234: POI Is Not Early Menopause: What Every Woman Needs to Know
Have you been told you have early menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency - and are you clear on the difference?Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is often confused with early menopause, but they are not the same thing - and understanding the difference matters. In this episode, Adele explores what POI actually means, how it differs from early menopause, and why the language used to describe women's health can have a real impact on diagnosis, treatment and support. Drawing on evidence-based guidance and her own experience, she discusses the symptoms to look out for, the importance of appropriate investigations, and the longer-term implications for bone health, cardiovascular health and wellbeing. Because every woman deserves accurate information, informed choices and care that recognises her individual needs.Watch The Menopause Coach (and see extra content from Adele): https://www.youtube.com/@TheAdeleJohnston____________Check out Adele's FREE symptom assessment here:https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/free-copy-of-our-symptom-assessment/ The Menopause Cheat Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ka-fN6J5DJW2J3IE0Qa80zFCKFXmTs4srlnlXYBf-gA/edit?usp=sharingIf you want a chat for your future success, fuel yourself here: https://calendly.com/adelejohnston/successchatDownload Adele's Journey Journal here : https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/my-journey-journal/Enquire about 121 coaching here : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfw6vrmKPE7A1eYDKQJiR9No7ZDdpfq-grBdKYjZSR-vl0Qag/viewformFor extra support: [email protected]____________From your host : Adele JohnstonI’m Adele Johnston, a certified nutritionist and positive psychology coach, passionate about helping women improve their menopause health and reclaim who you are without menopause taking over.This is a time in your life where you get to feel vibrant, sexy and reclaim you again!I’m proud to work with women like you and have created a very successful proven Reclaiming You 3 STEP PROCESS to help you take back control of your body during your menopause.For more details : https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/To get Adele's FREE 3-step Menopause Weight Loss Guide: https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/menopause-weight-loss-guide/
