Elsewhere, Trinny opened up about post-traumatic stress disorder in the latest episode of her podcast Fearless.

She discussed her ex-husband’s suicide with guest and businesswoman Bozoma Saint John.

Johnny Elichaoff, who also had a son Zak from a previous relationship, took his own life in 2014 at the age of 55.

Trinny said, “When you said earlier about jumping off the mountain, I love the saying ‘you have to jump off the mountain net knowing there is a net.’ But what’s interesting is…

“I’m going straight to post-traumatic stress disorder. Every time I stand at the top of a building or hear that phrase, I think of the suicide of my daughter’s father.”

It comes after Trinny declared she will continue taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) ‘until she dies’.

She has previously been open about early menopause and said she would do ‘anything’ to ease her symptoms.

What is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused by highly stressful, frightening or disturbing events.

People with PTSD often suffer from nightmares and flashbacks to the traumatic event and may experience insomnia and an inability to concentrate.

The symptoms are often severe enough to have a serious impact on the person’s daily life, and may develop immediately after the traumatic event or years later.

PTSD is believed to affect approximately one in three people with a traumatic experience, and was first documented in World War I in soldiers with shell shock.

People concerned they may have PTSD should visit their GP, who may recommend a course of psychotherapy or antidepressants, the NHS says.

Combat Stress has a 24-hour helpline for veterans, available on 0800 138 1619.

Trinny shared a day in her life with The Sunday Times and described her morning routine, including the supplements she takes when she wakes up.

She explained that she takes a high dose of liposomal vitamin C, calling it “a miracle vitamin” and adding: “I will be on HRT until the day I die.”

She’s also changed her diet to better help her body as she’s gotten older, revealing that she gets the same breakfast every day: “a big bowl of steamed broccoli, omelet and two slices of toasted rye bread.”

Trinny also explained that she has turned her back on her usual pleasure of four sugars in her tea.

She explained that she completely cut sugar out of her diet after reading The Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inhauspé, which looks at how sugar affects the body with age.

Trinny previously shared how she made this change to combat the symptoms of menopause.

In November, she told the Sydney Morning Herald: ‘Going through menopause is confronting and confusing. Our body and skin start to feel strange.

‘During this time you need to think about how certain foods can trigger symptoms. I always ask myself: Am I eating too much sugar that I can’t process during menopause?’

Last year, the What Not To Wear star admitted that menopause can be “incredibly debilitating” and vowed to do “whatever it takes” to ease her symptoms.

In October, Trinny told The Shift podcast: ‘I do all the general hormone treatments, but I stimulate my brain, I do meditation and I do strength training four times a week. I really want to take good care of my body, so that it can take care of me.’

She explained that she believed that going through sixteen rounds of IVF caused her early menopause.

The businesswoman gave birth to daughter Lyla in 2003 through fertility treatment after struggling to conceive.

But soon after, and still in her early 40s, Trinny admitted she felt like her “mojo was gone.”

She explained that she was offered antidepressants after visiting “lots and lots” of doctors, but claims that Dr. Erika Schwartz, author of The Hormone Solution, later told her that she had actually undergone early menopause caused by IVF, which had supposedly undergone early menopause each round. a year shaved off her cycle.

Trinny told the podcast, “I read this book called The Hormone Solution that she (Dr. Schwartz) wrote. And I went to see her in New York and she just explained it to me.

‘She said, “You’ve done 16 rounds of IVF, that’s about 16 years of your cycle because every time you do a round of IVF you produce 10-12 eggs and that’s what you produce in a year.”

‘That was never told. I wouldn’t have given as much for having Lyla. But it was interesting that my mom went in at 57 and I was there at 43, so I’m very focused on it.”

Trinny said she only had “some symptoms” of early menopause, but she didn’t recognize them right away.
