e13: cutting through the bullsh*t

Written By Megan Bird

summary:

In our final episode of our 4-part series featuring the best physicians and clinicians in menopause care, we get into it with the Gold Standard gals of Menopause Care—OB/GYNs and hosts of the incredible podcast, Ovary Active -  Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch. This is a real Master Class in nuance of perimenopause care. The Doctors share their collective wisdom regarding birth control vs Menopausal Hormone Therapy, and we also discuss why the magical claims around Hormone Therapy and Longevity may be misleading (or just untrue). Learn what hormones really CAN do for you and what they really CAN'T. There's a lot of noise out there in the "MENOsphere",  and these ladies are here to decode what's real information and what's just wishful thinking.
