Emma Barnett Opens Up About Early Perimenopause: 'I Felt Mugged and Robbed'
Emma Barnett, presenter for BBC Radio 4's Today programme, disclosed that she began experiencing perimenopause symptoms at age 38, which is earlier than the common onset age for most women. On her podcast Ready to Talk, Barnett, now 40, discussed how this affected her sense of self and led her to wish she were male. She continues to advocate for open conversations about hormonal health, having previously addressed endometriosis.
