Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

A critically important issue on the show today - women’s rights in the workplace especially in our menopause transition years.  Many symptoms can derail our best efforts at work when we are perimenopausal, and often we can find ourselves not at our best.  But what protections do we have?  

Today, I speak with Jack Tucker and Catherine Crider - women’s rights in the workplace attorneys and women’s rights advocates.   Did you know 20% of the workforce in America is between 40-65?   You aren't alone if you feel unable to complete your job in the same way you always have!  Asking for accommodations can feel hard, but might be easier than you think.  

Listen in to learn where and how to advocate for yourself, and where your protections may lie.  Catherine and Jack shares tips on how to ask for accommodations at work for those menopause symptoms.  Don't quit, they say.  You can demand fair treatment and equality in the workplace.
