I've brought together some of my best conversations on menopause and perimenopause with Dr. Jessica Shepard, Dr. Vonda Wright, and my wife, Sage. Covering why your "normal" labs miss it, how a frozen shoulder can signal hormone changes, and the truth about hormone therapy. If you're navigating midlife, this video is for you.
