Sometimes, this is a choice, but many times, it’s because our workplaces were not designed with menopausal women in mind. 

April Haberman of Midovia is working to change that, bringing menopause awareness and programs into the workplace along with personalized individual menopause support.

Perimenopause and thyroid disease have many overlapping symptoms and often occur together. Sometimes thyroid disease is obvious and easy to diagnose and treat, but other times, it can be more tricky.

In this episode, she discusses how standard thyroid screening and treatment may not be enough and what you should be looking for instead.
