In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, I discuss key insights from the recent Menopause Society Conference, covering a range of topics related to menopause, perimenopause, hormonal impacts, mental health, sexual health, and the importance of advocacy for women's health. The conversation emphasizes the need for better understanding and treatment options for women experiencing menopause, as well as the role of lifestyle changes in managing symptoms and improving overall health.
