Perimenopause starts earlier than you think

About the show

Cycle and Season is a weekly women's health show hosted by Dr Aishwarya Menon, a gynaecologist in Kochi who got tired of answering the same important questions in seven-minute appointments. Each 35-minute episode gives one subject the time it deserves: heavy periods, PCOS, trying to conceive after 35, pelvic floor recovery, the brain fog of perimenopause, HRT, bone health after 60. Aishwarya mixes solo explainers with interviews with specialists and with women telling their own stories, and she is frank about what Indian clinics often get wrong and what families often do not talk about. The show is for women at every stage, and for the partners and daughters who want to understand them. It is unembarrassed, evidence-led and kind. If you have ever left a doctor's room with more questions than you went in with, Aishwarya is here to answer them properly.
