If you’ve watched TV in the last few months, you’ll notice a theme in the news on health: MENOPAUSE.
Menopause is finally having it’s moment in the media. From Oprah to The National, my guest Dr. Heather Hirsch and I discuss our media appearances in the last few months, what this means for menopause and how to start getting the care you deserve.
Heather has exploded on the menopause scene with her book, Unlock Your Menopause Type which is sold wherever you buy books. We discuss her work as a Menopause Expert, how you can gain confidence in using HRT to treat your symptoms and why we’re finally seeing the attention towards menopause that you all deserve.
We discuss the various menopause types, including early menopause from hysterectomy, cancer treatment or premature ovarian insufficiency, to menopause “at 50” and how your treatment may need to shift depending on who you are and what your story is. Even if you don’t experience any menopause symptoms at all (and yes, that’s a type!) you need to have a conversation about your menopause.
Heather gives a refreshing and fun look at menopause as we dispel myths, give you the tools you need to pick a practitioner and continue this conversation on this very important life stage.
