It's About Navigating Health Decisions While Drowning in BS

Are you ready to change the conversation around menopause?

Listen in and find out…

How my first experience with AI (artificial intelligence) was when my name was printed beside words I didn’t write
How throwing every adverse health concern into a bucket and labeling it “menopause symptoms” is not only setting women’s health back; it is dangerous to women’s future heart health, brain health, bone health, vulva & vaginal health and urinary/bladder health.
How vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) are like the “check engine light” in our car, and why they are dangerous to ignore
How misinformation about vulva & vaginal health, and the cause of vaginal dryness may lead women misinterpreting their experiences as their fault
Why continuing to share quality, verified, evidence-based information from reputable sources serves everyone… because, when we know better we do better.
