Hi there, so glad to have you for this week's over 50 in flourishing. We are in the month of October.

You know, this is a really, really big month for women. Obviously, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

And if you saw last week's podcast or listen to it, wherever you listen to podcasts, we were talking

with Dorothy Gibbons about the Rose and serving the underinsured or

uninsured community and just all the different advances and changes there are in breast cancer

diagnosis and treatment. But I want today's focus to be on menopause because it's world

menopause month as well. And so we are going to close out the month with all

different kinds of conversations on menopause. Finally, the conversations are happening.

You know, they're happening here on podcasts. They're happening on social media. There are so many

women who I know who are being very, very vocal about this subject, and they are wanting to talk about

it, to share experiences, to create a sisterhood to make you feel like you're not alone, and then

doctors who are shifting full time into the care of women in midlife.

So it makes perfect sense for me to do two things.

First of all, bring back a dear friend who's been a guest on this podcast before, and that's Dr. Susan with the complete Midlife Wellness Center. But we wanted to

switch it up a little bit. Instead of me asking her questions, we thought it would be great

if you got to ask Dr. Susan. Has anyone ever been a good? season.

Has anyone ever said, you're a skeptic?

Well, that can actually be a good thing, especially when shopping for vitamins.

With so many supplements out there, less can actually be more.

So many vitamin brands on the market contain excess nutrients that our body doesn't need,

while rituals essential for women 50 plus is research stacked and science backed. So easy to take,

it has a little minty essence to it, so it's really easy to get down. But what I know is that it's got everything my body needs and it has eliminated everything my body doesn't.
