On this week’s episode of The Medical Disruptor, I’m sitting down with Kim Heifner, FNP, MSCP, to dive into MENOPAUSE—a topic that’s often misunderstood and under-discussed.

We’re here to give you the real scoop on menopause—the stuff you won’t hear in a typical visit to your gyn.

Treating Menopause isn’t just about managing hot flashes- it’s the key to a healthy long life.

We talked about the myths surrounding hormone therapy (BHRT) and how to truly thrive during this stage of life.

It's not just about "getting through it" or being told “this will pass” —there's so much more we can do to feel great.

Plus, we talk about why managing menopause effectively is key to long-term wellness and how hormones are a crucial piece of the puzzle when it comes to aging well.

It's all about thinking long-term when it comes to menopause and making sure you're set up for a healthier future.

If you want to finally get the full picture on menopause – and understand more than your 10 min medical visit, this episode is for you.
