We cover:

What actually defines menopause and how it's diagnosed

Health risks associated with the menopausal transition (including bone, brain, and cardiovascular health)

Hormone therapy: risks, benefits, and clinical considerations

Non-hormonal therapy options

How to personalize treatment for your patient's symptoms, risk profile, and goals

This is the bird’s-eye view—concise, practical, and empowering.
