Jump on in, water’s real warm and clammy...
By 2025, 1.1 billion women will be in the stage of menopause.
The problem? This field has been largely ignored, hormonal research has solely focused on males, and women suffering for years have felt invisible, isolated and given little to no resources to aide them in the second half of life.
We have come too far to accept things like: insomnia, dry vag, hostile sex drive, extra chin hairs...a couple friendly night sweats... as just a “thing that happens because are women.” Hell no. These are also major signals in our body that ultimately lead to early onset of life-altering diseases like dementia, osteoporosis and increase our risk to cancer.
Dr. Kamilia Smith joins us for Part 1 of our Menopause Miniseries to guide us through the ages and stages of Pre, Peri, Early & Late Menopause, and how integrating these inevitable hormonal shifts through lifestyle, nutrition and a solid physical and mental foundation (along with breakthrough therapies like HRT) will lead us toward a much happy and healthier lifespan.
This is such an important moment in our history.
Watch and listen, so we can play the long game together.
