What It's Like to See a Menopause Specialist

Within Canada's 20 million person labour market, 5 million people are working women over the age of 40. According to a recent report from the Menopause Society, an estimated 1 in 10 women will leave the workforce due to unmanaged symptoms of menopause—that's around 500,000 women who will stop working because of their symptoms this year.  As the Clinical Director of Medcan's Menopause and Perimenopause Program, Dr. Jennifer Zelovitzky is working to change these statistics. In Part One of our Women's Health Special Series, she's joined by her former client, Norma Pasquale. After having faced debilitating perimenopause symptoms, Norma's life changed after treating her symptoms with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Hear her story, and learn how you can advocate for your health and get the best care and resources for your unique needs.
