We're back with a bang for Season 3, diving straight into a candid, somewhat eye-watering discussion about an unexpected Mirena coil mishap that led to fascinating discoveries about hormone replacement therapy after 50.

Kate shares her recent experience of finding her IUD had become dislodged, requiring immediate removal and creating an urgent need for alternative progesterone. This led to a surprising conversation with her healthcare provider about why some women – particularly those taking specific medications – may need to continue using the Mirena coil well beyond the typical age recommendations. The episode explores the critical balance between oestrogen and progesterone, explaining why this balance matters so much for women's health and wellbeing during perimenopause and beyond.

The heart of this episode centers on medication interactions that many women may not realize affect their hormone therapy. Kate provides valuable insights into which common medications – including anti-epileptics, certain antibiotics, and even popular weight loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy – can interfere with progesterone absorption. For women taking these medications, the Mirena coil might be the safest option as it delivers progesterone directly to the uterus, bypassing the digestive system where many interactions occur.

Throughout the conversation, Kate emphasizes the importance of transparency with healthcare providers about all medications, including those prescribed privately. This honesty enables better care and more appropriate treatment recommendations. The discussion serves as a powerful reminder that perimenopause management is highly individual, requiring personalized approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Join us on the Uncomplicated Perimenopause Podcast as we unravel the mysteries of weight management during the perimenopausal phase. Have you ever wondered why managing weight becomes increasingly challenging as you enter this stage of life? We promise you'll gain valuable insights into how hormonal changes, particularly the fluctuating estrogen levels, can transform your body's fat distribution and metabolism. Together with my daughter Gabriella, we tackle these issues with empathy and humor, drawing parallels to technology updates and our evolving patience with life's little quirks.

In this episode, we confront the myth of "calories in, calories out" and explore the deeper intricacies of weight gain during perimenopause. Discover why traditional weight loss programs often fail and how understanding healthy fats can revolutionize your approach to nutrition. Our conversation is filled with practical advice designed to empower you, encouraging a shift from destructive dieting to a balanced lifestyle that includes non-starchy vegetables, proteins, and those all-important healthy fats. We also touch on the critical role of physical activity, from strength training to yoga, in maintaining muscle mass and enhancing overall well-being.

We believe that perimenopause doesn't have to be a daunting journey. With the right guidance, it can be a phase of empowerment and self-discovery. Alongside Gabriella, I share resources and offer support as you navigate this transition, urging you to join our community and contribute your experiences and questions. Explore our resources for additional support, including coaching and supplements, and remember to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. Let's create a vibrant conversation around perimenopause and make this journey uncomplicated and inspiring.
