Broadcaster Emma Barnett revealed on her new BBC podcast, Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett, that discovering she was experiencing perimenopause at 38 felt like being "mugged, robbed." Now 40, she expressed that it was the first time she wished she could be a man due to the challenges of this condition. Perimenopause typically occurs around age 46 and includes symptoms such as anxiety, mood swings, and hot flushes, while periods have not yet stopped.
