0:20.4	Hi, everyone. This is Karen Nicol, family nurse practitioner, and this is Itchy and Vitchie,
0:26.5	a podcast that provides answers to your many unanswered health questions. This is a reminder about my
0:32.4	course called the perimenopause answer. If you are going through this phase of life called perimenopause,
0:37.9	or if you don't know if you're in parimenopause, I would love to have the opportunity to talk to you
