Learning To Advocate for Your Best Health in Perimenopause with Shirley Weir

This Is Perimenopause

Menopause is having a moment right now, but Shirley Weir has been leading the charge since 2012 when she founded Menopause Chicks. Shirley has spent over a decade providing women with evidence-based information and a supportive community during this transformative life stage.

Today, Shirley shares her personal journey from an overwhelmed perimenopausal woman to a passionate health advocate. She offers practical advice for navigating the often confusing world of menopause, from dealing with symptoms to communicating effectively with healthcare providers.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Google isn't your friend when it comes to menopause information - and where to find reliable resources instead
• The power of small, consistent actions in managing menopause symptoms
• How to advocate for yourself in healthcare appointments
• Why "perimenopause" doesn’t need to be a synonym for suffering
• Practical tips for partners supporting women through menopause

Whether you're just starting your menopause journey or supporting someone who is, Shirley's insights will empower you to take charge of your health and well-being.
