My guest today is Amy Alkon, an award-winning investigative science writer who specializes in “science-help.”
She does a deep dive into the research, critically evaluating it and then translating it into everyday language, allowing us to make scientifically informed decisions for the best of our health and well-being.
Alkon’s new book, her fifth, out May 20th, is GOING MENOPOSTAL: What You (and Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause.
The book not only exposes the shocking gap between the scientific evidence and the medical practice standards in women's health, but in all of medicine—as well as how to overcome it and get the evidence-based medical care we all expect and deserve.
