Alison Daddo Women on Fire interview

Queen Menopause, Finding Majesty In The Mayhem With Alison Daddo

Alison Brahe Daddo – or Ali as she is commonly called – was only 16 when she burst onto the Australian modelling scene in the mid-80’s.

Many of us, in both Australia and New Zealand, grew up seeing her gorgeous face on the pages and covers of Dolly, Cleo and Cosmopolitan magazines and as a model for companies like Portmans, Nivea, Covergirl and Jacqui E.

Ali went on to marry TV presenter, actor and heartthrob Cameron Daddo in her early 20s and the couple moved to the United States for Cam’s career. While there, Ali left the modelling industry and fulfilled her dream of becoming a mother to three children. She’s also worked as an educator, teaching Bodyfulmind exercise and heading up a program that prepared couples for birth, labour and post-partum. She went on to earn her teaching degree in Early Childhood from UCLA and has trained in Rudolf Steiner Education.

Since returning to Australia in 2017, she and Cam – now married for over 30 years – co-host the hit podcast “Separate Bathooms” and Ali is also a writer on parenting, relationships and the joys of being a woman. She’s also a patron of RizeUp Australia, a charity that assists domestic abuse families into new homes and safe lives.

Her first book, Queen Menopause, Finding Majesty In The Mayhem is wonderful. Described as a friendly, frank, compassionate and comprehensive companion for any woman experiencing menopause, it truly is!

Post-menopause


This is the time when menstruation is well and truly over, the ovaries have stopped producing high levels of sex hormones and for many ladies, perimenopause symptoms subside.

Estrogen has protective qualities and the diminished levels mean organs such as your brain, heart and bones become more vulnerable. It’s also a key lubricant so your lips may become drier, your joints less supple and your vagina might be drier. In addition, your thyroid, digestion, insulin, cortisol and weight may alter.

At this juncture, a woman might experience an increase in the signs of reduced estrogen but she should have a decrease of perimenopause symptoms. That said, some women will experience symptoms like hot flushes for years or even the rest of their lives.

Perimenopause

Peri = ‘near’

Most females begin to experience the symptoms of perimenopause in their mid-forties. Your progesterone levels decline from your mid-30s but it’s generally from around 40 that the rest of your sex hormones begin to follow suit. 

Perimenopause is a different experience for every woman and some women may barely notice it. The first indicators are usually changes to the monthly cycle. This means that for some ladies, this can be accompanied by things like sore breasts, mood swings, weight gain around the belly, and fatigue as time goes on.

For those with symptoms it can be a challenging time physically, mentally and emotionally.

Importantly, perimenopause lasts – on average – four to 10 years. The transition is usually a gradual process and many women enter perimenopause without realising.
