Summary

Come see me in Tacoma October 3 Come See the M Factor documentary premier in Bellingham October 20th In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, I discuss key insights from the recent Menopause Society Conference, covering a range of topics related to menopause, perimenopause, hormonal impacts, mental health, sexual health, and the importance of advocacy for women's health. The conversation emphasizes the need for better understanding and treatment options for women experiencing menopause, as well as the role of lifestyle changes in managing symptoms and improving overall health. Takeaways Understanding female sexuality is crucial for healthy relationships. Perimenopause symptoms can start before periods become irregular. Hormonal changes during menopause can impact mental health significantly. Hot flashes are linked to cognitive decline and memory issues. The Mediterranean diet is beneficial for mental health and depression. Hormones can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety during menopause. Bone health is critical, and hormone therapy can improve bone density. Advocacy for women's health is essential in changing perceptions about menopause. Nutrition and lifestyle changes play a significant role in managing menopause symptoms. Education about menopause is lacking, and many women feel unprepared.
