AGING accelerates in PERIMENOPAUSE | Ex-NHS Surgeon on Brain Fog & GLP-1 | Dr Mayoni Gooneratne
Aging accelerates during perimenopause - and most women are never told that, or that the transition can last up to ten years. Dr Mayoni Gooneratne spent years as an NHS surgeon before walking away from the operating theatre. Her reason was simple: she kept performing major operations on people she knew would be back, and she wanted to work further upstream. In this conversation she lays out the model she now uses with every woman who comes into her clinic. Your health is a house - soil, foundations, walls, roof, heating, a light switch, windows, and the weather outside. Hormones are only one room in it, which is why she stopped simply prescribing more of them. We get into what happens to progesterone in perimenopause and why it can disappear inside a single year; why brain fog and fatigue are hallmark indicators of metabolic dysfunction rather than stress; the difference between the inflammation that heals you and the kind that never switches off; where most of it starts; and a clear-eyed read on GLP-1 - the inflammation research, the microdosing question, and what worries her about buying it online. Plus the line most likely to start an argument: skipping breakfast until two in the afternoon is not fasting. Dr Mayoni Gooneratne is a former NHS surgeon and Executive Medical Director at PHC Personalised Health Clinics, London.
