Dr Kourtney Sims has an unusual combination of skillsets when it comes to menopause, and has really dedicated her continuing education post-medical school to understanding this transition. The Texas-based, North American Menopause Society-certified obstetrician-gynecologist is also an herbalist, a yoga teacher, and a functional integrative women's health advocate. And she's chief medical advisor to Phenology, which is a new US company led by former Silicon Valley executive Jess Graham aimed at offering relief and guidance to women through supplements and rescue remedies.
