What’s going on with my body around the age of 40? Many women ask themselves this question. While discussions about hormones and navigating this phase of life are increasing, many women still suffer in silence. Today’s guest is here to dispel the myths and provide actionable steps to empower women to feel their best during this new phase.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Carrie Jones to discuss the changes women’s bodies undergo at around age 40.
