Perimenopause seems elusive…until it hits you. Dr. Sophia is going through this personally, and it is quite a whirlwind. Listen as she explains, even as an ObGyn who deals with perimenopausal patients all the time, actually experiencing these symptoms first hand are surprising and almost…unbelievable. One of the reasons why it’s shocking is that we go through perimenopause at a time in our lives where we are in our vibrant 40s and we don’t expect to feel this way. Join us as she opens up about her journey through this transition, learn about perimenopause and how you can address challenges that can arise. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.
