So many of the women around me have crossed the threshold into this landscape of changing hormones. It can be gnarly and tumultuous and wonderful all at once. Dr Suzanne reminds us, we will all land on the other side! We speak to the array of symptoms that this time can bring and the various pieces to consider when thinking about supporting the body through these transitions. We debunk cancer risk and hormones and explore some of the patriarchal impositions that this field of medicine is bravely shrugging. Lets get into sex after menopause, keeping the v*gina and v*lva healthy and tips and tricks for prescribers and patients.
