Menopause Care That Isn't About Your Weight | Dr Naomi Busch MD

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like your weight was the only thing anyone wanted to talk about, while the symptoms actually wrecking your days got waved away?  In this episode of the Wellness and Growth Journeys Podcast, host Mialisa Garnes sits down with Dr. Naomi Busch, MD, a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and founder of Seattle Menopause Medicine, whose practice does something radical in its simplicity: it focuses on your symptoms and your diagnosis, not your size. Dr. Naomi explains what weight-inclusive, evidence-informed menopause care actually looks like inside the exam room, how she uses a menopause symptom checklist, the truth about estrogen and hormone therapy, and why every woman deserves to be heard and to advocate for what she needs.
