actor and writer Soha Ali Khan recently opened up about her experience with perimenopause, opening up about the physical and emotional changes she faced before turning to bioidentical hormone therapy. Soha has a podcast now called All About Her, Maheep Kapoor and Dr. Rashmi Roy in her latest episode. During the conversation, Soha talks about the symptoms that prompted her to seek medical guidance, revealing how the unexpected changes in her body affected her daily life.“I remember I came to you because I was going through perimenopausal symptoms. For example, for me, there was a sudden gain in abdominal weight because I had been the same weight my whole life and then suddenly gained a few kilos, and from what I understand, this abdominal fat retention happens when your hormones are out of whack. There’s dryness, there’s acne. I mean, I’ve never had acne since I was a teenager and then all of a sudden I got breakouts on my chin. One of the benefits of aging is that you don’t get acne. So I was like what is going on? Insomnia, trouble falling asleep, then you fall asleep and wake up at 3:00 in the morning, your heart beats faster, you feel anxious, you lose energy, you feel like everything sucks, how do you deal with all of this? That’s when I found you and you told me about bioidentical hormone therapy. “This episode explores the idea of ”anti-aging,” encouraging people to shift from chasing youth to prioritizing long-term health, wellness and confidence. Dr. Rashmi Roy used her expertise to explain the science behind bioidentical hormone therapy, while Maheep Kapoor offered her own insights into aging and navigating public life as a woman.When asked if she felt pressure to stay young, Maheep replied in the affirmative before explaining, “Bollywood Wives happened when I was 48. For women, this is a very insecure time. We are aging and entering menopause. When Karan told me, I thought, “Couldn’t you have come earlier?” And then, on top of that, you’re suddenly scrutinized, you’re attacked by trolls, people are pointing out your shortcomings. ” Mahip revealed that adjusting to the public attention was not easy, especially when social media was flooded with criticism about her appearance. While the harsh comments initially affected her, she eventually learned to handle them differently.
