This week, we have the honor of talking to Professor Joyce Harper about all things menopause.  She is a Professor of Reproductive Science at University College London.  She has an extensive background as an embryologist, a research scientist, and is especially known for her groundbreaking work in preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).  With over three decades in the field, Joyce has not only shaped academic programs but also spearheaded global efforts in reproductive health education.  She is the co-founder of InTune: the UK Menopause Education and Support Programme.  She is the host of the podcast, Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me This? She also wrote the book, Your Fertile Years, which explores women’s health from puberty to menopause.

 

Listen in as her and Dr. D discuss what menopause is, how symptoms can be different for everyone, and why it's important for women of all age to have an understanding of menopause.  This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode!
