I am Karen Nichol family nurse practitioner and you are listening to Itchy and Bitchie, a podcast that provides answers to your many unanswered health questions.

Before we get started on today's Itchy and Bitchie episode, I would like to share with you my latest project and how you can help me with the project.

I am currently doing research to develop an online class to help women in their paramedic puzzle years, basically age 35 to 50-ish,

who have developed symptoms that can include fatigue, insomnia, foggy thinking, low sex drive, body changes, breast tenderness and mood changes.

These women have often been evaluated by a health care practitioner and told that all testing completed is normal and are given no answers to address their symptoms.

If you are experiencing or know someone who is experiencing this change in life, I would love to connect via Zoom to ask a few questions so I can make sure to develop a course that addresses the most common and most challenging symptoms of parimenopause.

I have set up a calendar on Calendly for you or someone you know to schedule an appointment to chat with me about this project within the next 30 days.

The link to schedule an appointment is on our Facebook page, INB podcast and on our website itchyandbitchie.com.

I look forward to hearing from you and or from someone you know who is experiencing parimenopausal symptoms and are willing to assist me by taking some time to share your story with me.

With your help, I plan on developing a life-changing online course.

A shocking statistic is that one in three older adults fall at least once per year.
