Let’s Talk Menopause Part 1: Fact vs. Fiction

Menopause is one of those things we joke about, whisper about, or avoid altogether…
until one day we’re right in the middle of it thinking, wait, why did no one explain this to us?

Today, we’re starting with the basics. We’re separating fact from fiction when it comes to menopause.

I’m joined by Dr.Molly Strong, Chief of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Hancock Health. She is a physician who also holds a masters in public health and is certified by the Menopause Society for her dedication and excellence in perimenopausal care.

We’re kicking off a series that is focused on menopause for the next few weeks. Join me as we cut through the noise, answer the questions we’ve all Googled at 2 a.m., and explain what’s normal, what’s not, and what actually deserves attention.
