Perimenopause is one of the most misunderstood—and under-discussed—phases in a woman’s life. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Colette White, a leading voice in women’s health, to unpack the physical, emotional, and hormonal shifts that come with this transition.

We talk about: ✨ What perimenopause really is (and how it differs from menopause)
🧠 The impact on mental health, sleep, and energy
💬 Why so many women feel unheard or misdiagnosed
🌿 Holistic and medical approaches to managing symptoms
💪 And how we can empower ourselves with knowledge and community

Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or supporting someone who is—this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Colette White trained and worked in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After completing her medical studies at Queen’s University, Belfast in 2003, she successfully passed the examination for entry to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), London in 2010. She specialized in the medical and surgical management of benign gynaecological conditions, and in 2015, completed the Advanced Special Study Module in the Management of Menopause through the RCOG.

Following her move to Germany with her young family and the attainment of her German Approbation, Dr. White founded MenoCare—a practice dedicated to helping women embrace the opportunities of midlife by taking control of their health and enhancing their quality of life.

Guided by the latest research, Dr. White is committed to patient-centred, holistic care. She takes the time to understand each patient’s full health picture and how their symptoms are affecting their daily life. Her approach includes assessing the risk of conditions such as osteoporosis and recommending evidence-based, modern, and safe therapies—including body-identical or bio-identical hormones, supported by vitamins and micronutrients when appropriate—to relieve symptoms and improve long-term health outcomes.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s break the silence around perimenopause.
