Talking about perimenopause and menopause with your doctor can feel intimidating — especially when your symptoms are brushed off as “stress” or “just getting older.” In this episode, Dr. Brittney is joined by Dr. Nadia Sirdar, a primary care physician who focuses on menopause care, to break down how women can advocate for themselves and get the support they need.
We cover:
<ul>
<li>Common symptoms women experience in their 40s and 50s</li>
<li>Why many physicians receive limited menopause training</li>
<li>How to clearly communicate your symptoms</li>
<li>What to do if your concerns aren’t taken seriously</li>
<li>When to consider finding a menopause-trained physician</li>
</ul>
A quick, empowering listen for anyone navigating midlife changes and wanting better conversations — and better care.
