It's about Starting to ROAR! (with Dr. Nathalie Gamache)

Ready to Feel Amazing? Listen in & learn…Why the Women’s Health Initiative Study set women’s health care back in 2002, and why we don’t need to be afraid of hormone replacement therapy as a treatment for the most common symptoms of hormone decline. Why your family doctor might not have the answers you’re looking for, and may feel as frustrated about that too, and what you can do about it. How women can take well-being into their own hands with a “self-contract” to live fully and stay healthy through midlife and beyond. Why we need to be advocating to have provincial governments cover the cost of hormone replacement therapy given the preventative aspect of this kind of treatment. Why generalizations don’t work when discussing treatment options for women’s health and why it’s important to consider each individual separately. Why living with the discomforts caused by hormone decline is not something women need to accept - it is absolutely possible to feel vibrant & energetic as we age. How ventures capitalized on the desperation of women seeking relief in the wake of the deeply flawed propaganda that followed the Women’s Health Initiative study, making it difficult for factual information to compete. Why we need to become our own “fact checkers” when we read any information about menopause due to the proliferation of misinformation.Links from this week’s episode:Learn more about my work and Menopause Chicks here: https://www.MenopauseChicks.com/Join the Menopause Chicks private community here: https://MenopauseCommunity.comBIG thanks to the following for sharing my passion for women’s health::VICHYFerapro IronFeel Amazing Vulva & Vaginal MoisturizerIntimate WellbeingOh Boy Productions©Menopause Chicks Join the Menopause Chicks Private Community on Facebook:👉 MenopauseCommunity.comThis is where thousands of women gather to learn evidence-based content and ask questions/seek clarity to inform their health decisions.SHARE THIS EPISODEIf this conversation resonated with you, please share it with three people: someone older, someone younger, and a peer.
