Hot flashes, night sweats, irritability. These are just a few of the well-known symptoms that women experience as they begin to enter menopause. But what many people don’t know is the myriad of emotional and hormonal symptoms that can also creep into the day-to-day, and that our husbands might be experiencing them too.
So what’s the deal with menopause and how can we help ourselves get through it naturally? Where do men fit into the picture and are their signs and symptoms something we should be paying more attention to? Let’s talk about it.
Our guests today are APRN Andrew Lauzier and Osteopathic Physician Dr. Kate Zachau from Collaborative Natural Health Partners in Connecticut.
As a nurse practitioner, Andrew provides primary care across the practice, managing acute and chronic diseases, and focusing on the importance of primary prevention. Andrew is passionate about integrative and holistic care and he loves educating both adults and children about their options beyond just traditional medicine.
Dr. Kate Zachau is an Osteopathic Physician who works with patients to determine the root cause of their symptoms in alignment with naturopathic and osteopathic philosophies. She specifically works with women as they move through menopause and her passion for integrative medicine is most notable in the modalities of mind-body medicine, nutrition, and osteopathic manipulation.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
