We’re back with Part 2 of the perimenopause series! If you missed Part 1 you can listen to it here before checking out today’s episode. In this episode, we talk about supplements and bioidenticals for all the Bettys in perimenopause. Dr. Stephanie shares her supplement recommendations and some useful tips for caring for your skin and hair (listen all the way through for a weird but effective hair tip!).

**Fact Check From This Episode**

30 minutes of sun gives you approximately 20,000IU of vitamin D. This works out to around 1000 IU/minute, not 10 minutes which was mentioned in the episode. Depending on age, location (relative to the equator), time of day, and melanin pigmentation, this will vary.
