#63: Can postpartum AND perimenopause actually happen at the same time?
Episode 67
Wednesday, 2 September, 2026
Being in postpartum after delivering a baby can be a difficult transition period for the body. Being in perimenopause can also come with its own health effects. But did you know that for some women, both can actually happen at the same time, potentially unleashing a hormonal nosedive! In this episode, we talk about what perimenopause and postpartum are, why they occur, when women can experience both simultaneously, the compounding effects of going through both at once, etc. I am joined by my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.
