In this episode we dig into important topics like what exactly is perimenopause, and when does it begin, along with what are the actual symptoms of this phase of the menstrual life cycle. We also delve into hormone replacement therapy do’s and don’ts as well as the stigma attached to aging female bodies in our society. I learned so much in this interview and I think you will too!
