How to Talk to Your Doctor About Menopause

26 minutes

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:

Common symptoms women experience in their 40s and 50s

Why many physicians receive limited menopause training

How to clearly communicate your symptoms

What to do if your concerns aren’t taken seriously

When to consider finding a menopause-trained physician

A quick, empowering listen for anyone navigating midlife changes and wanting better conversations — and better care.
