0:15.5	And I'm your host, Ford Certified Female Urologist, Dr. Casperson.
0:26.1	Thank you. board certified female urologist Dr. Casperson. Hello, friends.
0:27.2	Today I'm so excited to have Amanda Thieb coming on to talk to us about menopause,
0:32.3	the book she wrote, which is called Menopocalypse, and how she uses fitness and lifestyle
0:37.1	to help manage her life and not only
