Symptoms of perimenopause can start as early as your 30s. They can include irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep problems, mood changes, bladder problems, decreasing fertility, changes in sexual function, reduced bone density and a whole host of other issues. Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Michelle Lyons, joins me on the show today to discuss the specific problems that might be affecting runners and how they can reduce the impact of the hormonal changes that occur during this transitional period.
