Menopause is part of life that will affect almost every person on the planet at some point or another, either directly or indirectly. While it can be detrimental in some cases, it is thankfully very manageable in places with access to modern medicine. This episode we hope to clear up some misconceptions about menopause and hopefully provide some previously "unknown" management options. They could simply be unknown because your provider might not know they are options. It takes time and energy to stay up to date on the best care and that is hard to do. It is important that you're aware so you can advocate for the right care.
They include:

Traditional Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical Hormone
Nutraceuticals - Over the counter supplements
Off Label Medication
Acupuncture
