In this week’s episode, Dr Shauna is joined by Dr Michelle Cotellessa - GP and co-founder of Hera Menopause, a Perth-based clinic dedicated to transforming the way women experience and manage menopause through innovative, evidence-based care. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Michelle has a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and social challenges women face during menopause. It can be so daunting to speak to a stranger about what you're going through, so in this conversation Dr Shauna and Dr Cotellessa are breaking down exactly what you can expect from a menopause appointment. What should you bring with you? What kinds of questions might you be asked? How can you bring up HRT with your doctor? What if you’re feeling unheard - how do you advocate for yourself?
