Hey everyone, you're on air with Ella, and today we're continuing a two-part series in body literacy. And today I'm joined by

Ellen Dolgin, who's here to talk to us about a topic. You guys have been beating down my door about.

We are talking about paramenopause, menopause, and H-R-T hormone replacement therapy. Hey, Ellen, welcome to the show.

Hi. How are you? I'm really happy to have you here, actually, because for some reason, whatever reason, it's so interesting, people ask for topics sort of in waves.

And I have had a wave of people very recently asking me to find an expert to talk to them and just sort of get real about this topic and increase our literacy, like I said,

in this area, in this challenging, not always fun area that we know is paramenopause and menopause.

Well, I'm happy to be part of the Ella Club.

Welcome. We welcome you with open arms. Well, here's what I know about you, Ellen. I know

that you're an author, a blogger, a speaker.

I know that you are a health and wellness and menopause awareness advocate.

And I also know that you're the founder and president of menopause Mondays, and we'll talk more about that.

But in general, that you help women learn how to understand paramenopause and menopause in a style that we can relate to. Like, I know that you can have a little fun with me, which is why I wanted to have you on

this show, Ellen.

Tell me something.

How did you get here?

Well, let's not over exaggerate.

I'm not the most famous vagina around, but, but my-

Kim Kardashian and then you.
