Menopause Chicks17 Sep 2023

Menopause is one day–so that would make for a pretty short show!

Welcome to the very first episode of This Show is Not About Menopause!

I’m your host, Shirley Weir. I'm 56 years old. I reached menopause when I was 49, and I am the founder of MenopauseChicks.com, an online educational platform, trusted for quality health information and designed to remind everyone: WE DESERVE to FEEL AMAZING!

In this welcome episode, I talk about the meaning behind the name of my show and all the aspects of women’s health I’m excited to dive into with you and my guests in future episodes.

Sexual health, hormone health, heart, brain, bone and vaginal health…regardless of your age and stage, I promise there is something here you haven't heard before!

We live in the health information age. That sometimes means misinformation from media, marketers–and even the medical community. How are we to know what is trustworthy and what is perpetuating old and outdated myths? Rest assured, my mission is to share only evidence-based information so that you can make the health decisions that are right for YOU!

It is possible to navigate perimenopause-to-menopause-to-postmenopause with confidence and ease, and this webcast/podcast will help you do exactly that!
