This Morning fashion presenter and model Lisa Snowdon broke down in tears after updating followers about her journey with menopause.
In an Instagram live to her 398,000 followers Lisa, who celebrated her 50th birthday two months ago, revealed that her experience with menopause started when she was 42.
The TV personality – who hosts the fashion segment on This Morning – was joined by the menopause doctor, Dr Naomi Potter, for her 30-minute virtual chat discussing the typically taboo conversation.
Lisa described her experience as “debilitating” and said she is keen to help other women understand and recognise the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause as she opened up about her own.

With tears rolling down her face, Lisa said: “We try and tackle it with lightness, and I think that’s important.
“But I also think it’s important to take a step back and say the struggle is real, you know for so many of us.
“And it’s a moving target and not a one size fits all.”
Lisa shared how the journey is like a “rollercoaster” in the video’s caption.

She penned: “The madness of the menopause continues…It’s ok to not be ok that’s the moral of this weeks Midweek Menopause Madness.”
The fashion model then thanked her followers for their continuous support through her journey.
She added: “Thank you for all your continued support. It’s a rollercoaster and sometimes depending on lifestyle changes, stress, world events, illness, life in general the darkness and sadness hits me/us.
“In times like these it’s good to share, it’s good to talk, it’s also good to re-evaluate what might be the triggers, looking at diet, and also making sure we move!”

One followers wrote: “Your honesty has made me feel less alone, thank you. Parallel journey and the lows are tough. Sending hugs.”
A second penned: “Thanks for your honesty…. I think it’s so hard when you have so much empathy and feel so helpless living in the world today.”
