Hormones, functional health, and perimen...

MOTHER TONGUE
About this episode

Today on the Mother Tongue podcast, we're diving into a topic that so many of us have questions about—but don’t always know where to begin: hormones, functional health, and the wild ride that is perimenopause.

Joining me is the brilliant Roshani Hill, founder of Vital Woman Wellness here in Dubai. Roshani is a certified functional health practitioner who specialises in supporting women through all stages of hormonal change—from PMS and burnout to fertility, perimenopause, and beyond.

In this conversation, we unpack what perimenopause really is (hint: it’s not just hot flashes and mood swings), the signs your body might be giving you, and the steps you can take to feel more like yourself again—without being dismissed or told it’s all in your head.

Whether you’re in your 30s and starting to notice subtle shifts or firmly in the throes of hormonal havoc, this episode is here to empower you with practical insights and real talk.
