209: Sick of Waiting - Underdiagnosed for Centuries

About this episode

Adele Johnston discusses the challenges women face in healthcare, particularly regarding underdiagnosis and being unheard during perimenopause and menopause.

Are women still being overlooked in healthcare - and what is it really costing us? In this important episode, Adele explores the reality many women face when it comes to being unheard, underdiagnosed and left waiting for answers. From missed symptoms to gaps in research and a system historically built around the male body, this conversation sheds light on why so many women feel dismissed - especially during perimenopause and menopause. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own experiences, understand the bigger picture, and feel empowered to advocate for your health with greater confidence. 💛 12 Minute Breathwork Method:https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/breathwork/ Watch The Menopause Coach (and see extra content from Adele): https://www.youtube.com/@TheAdeleJohnston ____________ Check out Adele's FREE symptom assessment here: https://adelejohnstoncoaching.com/free-copy-of-our-symptom-assessment/ The Menopause Cheat Sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ka-fN6J5DJW2J3IE0Qa80zFCKFXmTs4srlnlXYBf-gA/edit?usp=sharing If you want a chat for your future success, fuel yourself here: https://calendly.com/adelejohnston/successchat Download Adele's Journey Journal here…
