Welcome back to "Ditch the Lab Coat," the podcast that delves into important healthcare topics with a critical, scientifically skeptical lens.

I'm your host, Dr. Mark Bonta. In today's episode, we're honored to have Dr. Woganee Filate with us, a leading expert in women's health and co-founder of LOOM Women in Health.  Dr. Filate is here to shed light on the often-overlooked subject of menopause.

Together, we'll explore the urgent need to include menopause education in medical school curricula, normalize discussions around this natural part of aging, and provide better care for women experiencing menopausal symptoms. We'll touch on the historical context of hormone therapy, the benefits and risks associated with it, and the disparity in attention given to women's health compared to men's.

Additionally, Dr. Filate will offer valuable advice for women navigating this stage of life and emphasize the importance of advocating for oneself in the healthcare system. Stay tuned for an enlightening conversation that promises to empower women to be their authentic selves and improve community health. Let's dive in!
