In her work, Dr. Suzanne goes beyond conventional medical treatment to looks at the different stages of a woman’s life holistically.

0:10.2	In today's podcast, I have a really important conversation with Dr. Suzanne Gilbert Lens,
0:16.9	who is an OB-GYN and has written a book called Boot Camp Menopause.
