Podcast 427: Managing menopause and your mental health

Download my new and improved brain detox app here: https://neurocycle.app SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk to Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz about menopause, women’s mental health, why aging is a blessing, her new book Menopause Bootcamp, and so much more! In her work, Dr. Suzanne goes beyond conventional medical treatment to looks at the different stages of a woman’s life holistically. She calls menopause the “puberty of midlife”—it is a normal bodily function, not a curse or disease, as it is often portrayed as in our society.
