Perimenopause and Menopause with Felix Health

Send us a text Ever wondered about the real differences between perimenopause and menopause? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Kelly Anderson and Dr. Nathalie Gamache to unravel the complexities of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. From the decade-long journey of perimenopause with its anxiety, mood swings, and night sweats, to lesser-known symptoms like decreased libido and brain fog, our experts provide invaluable insights to help you navigate these transformative years. Dr. Gamache even shares how perimenopause can begin as early as your late 30s, arming you with the knowledge to better manage and anticipate these changes. But that’s not all. We also tackle the often misunderstood topic of menopause hormone therapy (HRT) and the role of contraception in alleviating perimenopausal symptoms. Discover the historical context, benefits, and minimal risks of HRT, particularly when started early. We emphasize the crucial role of lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and alcohol consumption in managing sleep and mood. Plus, meet Maureen McGrath and explore the revolutionary Moxie Patch, a game-changer for women dealing with stress urinary incontinence.
