Women navigating perimenopause and menopause are often tasked with educating and advocating for themselves. As a OBYN and menopause specialist, these are some key resources I share with women to help them navigating a health care system that has not always valued midlife women’s health. In this age of misinformation, we must rely on vetted and trusted sources of health information.
I hope you find them useful!
