Summary

This week, we are joined by one of your top requested guests: the amazing Dr. Jen Gunter, OB/GYN and pain medicine physician and world-renowned health communicator, to tackle all things menopause. We start with a broad overview of menopause. We cover diagnosis and symptom management options. We discuss menopause hormone therapy and address commonly asked questions. AND OF COURSE, we debunk potentially dangerous "wellness" trends including hormone regulating diets, supplements, "HRT alternatives", "bioidenticals," and fake diagnostic tests.
