3 | Is It Perimenopause? Uncovering Symptoms To Advocate For Yourself. With guest, Katie Taylor of The Latte Lounge.

If you are in your late 30's or 40's feeling like your health went from 0 to 60 in the wrong direction and you are not sure why, then you'll want to listen to today's episode. I sit with entrepreneur, founder and CEO of The Latte Lounge, Katie Taylor, as she discusses her personal perimenopausal passage. 

Katie shares how it took years of misdiagnosis, trial-and-error and many a conversation to finally uncover what a cluster of seemingly unrelated symptoms all meant. Once she had her answer, she leapt to Facebook seeking to connect with other women carrying a similar narrative. A Facebook group developed simply to share her personal chronicles and aid others, has grown into what is now The Latte Lounge; an online platform for women over 40, which exists to help women in midlife thrive at home and in the workplace. 

Her community now supports more than 40,000 women with evidence-based information about women’s health, backed by a medical advisory team. It is a confidential space for midlife women to connect online and gain access and signposting to a range of health and wellbeing experts. The Latte Lounge also hosts a variety of events, including a hero event ‘The Midlife Festival’, which in 2021 saw more than 4,500 women register to join. Katie has a special interest in perimenopause & menopause support in the workplace and offers events, training, policy/guideline writing and a consultancy service for organizations who want to improve menopause support at work.
