Welcome to my new Weekly Wisdom blog on menopause and reclaiming your well being at midlife. Today I’m talking about how to tell if the way you feel is due to an actual illness, or whether it’s the menopause.

Often when I meet women they are absolutely scared about what's going on in their body. Some have even been to the doctor and diagnosed with a stress related problem or depression and put on medication.

This is dreadful, I see women time and time again who are worrying, frightened and thinking there's something terribly wrong with them when actually it's all a natural life stage.

They're not unwell, what they are experiencing is the menopause.

You can actually overcome those symptoms with the right information and the right knowledge.

So are you menopausal or unwell? Watch my video below to find out the symptoms of menopause and how you can recognise them…

If you are really worried about what’s happening with your body and the symptoms have come on suddenly, then you should go to your doctor and get checked out.
