Welcome to Sex, Body and Soul. I'm Kate Roberts, founder of the body agency, and on this show,

we talk about the marvel that is our bodies, what they can do and what they need to thrive.

Ladies out there, our time is now. Let's get to it. For those of us at a certain age, things start to

happen to our bodies, And some of us might

experience symptoms such as moodiness, weight gain, low libido, night sweats. And yes, those are all

signs that we are going through menopause or even perimenopause.

Now, our next guest, Dr. Suzanne Fempski, is a breath of fresh air.

She's very passionate about empowering women to take charge of their health, but also as a gynecologist,

to advise on our hormones, medicine that we need.

Dr. Feminski's passion arose from her own personal experiences with hormones and health.

And she really has become extremely renowned.

So I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Suzanne Feminski.

Dr. Suzanne, welcome to the show.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. No better way to spend a Friday.

I love that you're here. We're going to be talking about the state of menopause, a subject that is often fueled with stigma, taboos, lack of knowledge.

As I was telling you, both men and women listen to the show in a lot of countries around the world.

And I've worked in public health for almost 25 years now, and not once in that 25 years, did I even hear the word menopause?

Nobody was raising philanthropic money to help women in the developing world to get through

menopause. Doctors weren't trained to be able to advise their patients about how to get through menopause in a dignified fashion.

So I am on a quest.

I'm on a quest to find and work with experts like yourself.

And I'm thrilled that you've joined our body board at the body agency,
