About the conversation

How do you recognise the changes that can come with perimenopause? When should you talk to a doctor about menopausal hormone therapy? Does training need to follow the phases of your cycle? Asia talks about this with Dr Paulina Malarkiewicz and answers the questions asked during the Live.

Some of what we talk about

  • first symptoms, and why age, medical history and individual diagnosis matter
  • questions about hormone therapy and the hormonal IUD
  • the role of progressive strength training, recovery and consistency
  • training during your period and where research stands on matching a plan to cycle phases
  • when a missing period during weight loss needs attention

This material is educational and does not replace an individual medical consultation. If your periods have stopped, bleeding is unusual or your symptoms worry you, talk to your doctor.
