  • Will Fertility Issues Affect My Menopause? – Pregnancy Struggles, Shame And Denial
    2025/04/27
    Feeling isolated in midlife? You’re not alone — and today’s guest, Nadia Nagamootoo, knows exactly how that feels. Nadia is a chartered psychologist, CEO of Avenir Consulting Services, and host of the Why Care? podcast. In this episode, she opens up to Dr Naomi Potter about her long, emotional journey with fertility struggles — and how those years shaped not just her 30s, but her experience of perimenopause. Doctors told Nadia she had a low ovarian count, which resulted in her struggles to conceive. So the question is: do fertility struggles also suggest that Nadia will have menopause struggles? Can the two be connected? Dr. Naomi Potter is here to explain. Nadia confesses she was “in denial” about hitting perimenopause. Together, she and Naomi explore how hormone changes intersect with mental health, identity, and the weight so many women silently carry. They also speak candidly about why menopause support needs to be more inclusive. As a South Asian woman, Nadia highlights how healthcare research and treatment often overlooks diverse experiences — and why that has to change. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt lonely, misunderstood, or overwhelmed in midlife. It’s a powerful, personal conversation — with practical insights and hope woven throughout.

  • Did Menopause Destroy My Marriage? With Stacey Duguid
    2025/04/20
    What happens when the loneliness and libido spikes in midlife drive you to “crash out” of your marriage? In this week’s episode of Is It Hot in Here? Dr Naomi Potter is joined by Fashion Editor and artist Stacey Duguid. In this raw conversation, Stacey explains how she “went looking for attention” and found it, her marriage ended in chaos, she “wrecked her financial future”, moved house and had a breakdown, all while unknowingly experiencing perimenopause. Together, Naomi and Stacey explore the complex impact of hormonal changes, and how an increased sex drive can be as difficult and destructive as its opposite. Is there a scientific explanation behind Stacey’s choices? Could an earlier diagnosis or menopause care have changed her path? What do other women need to know? Whether you’re in the thick of perimenopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or just beginning to wonder what this stage of midlife might bring — this episode is filled with insight, reassurance, and practical advice to help you feel more prepared and less alone.

    2025/04/13
    I see so many women, with so many symptoms and confusion about what is happening to them, and why, that I wanted to break it down for you. So here is a Clinic Cheat Sheet to help break it down for you! In this episode of my Is it Hot in here? podcast, I break down the signs and symptoms we go through in clinic to establish if they are related to perimenopause, general ageing, or other medical conditions - be they psychological, physical or emotional – and clarify the different symptom management and treatment options. From brain fog and burnout to skin and hair changes, low libido, joint pain and allergies, we cover it all. So whether you are wondering if what you’re feeling is “just ageing,” or you’ve already started HRT and want to understand more, this episode will really help.
