Show Notes

Night sweats, hot flushes, female discomfort and dryness, anxiety, and weight gain are just a few symptoms of menopause. How does a woman get there?

What are the facts and myths about this change that can make a woman feel less feminine and outdated? 

On MedStar Health’s podcast DocTalk, Christina Enzmann, MD, a gynecologist and menopause specialist at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore, brings a fresh approach to explaining and treating menopause. She explains the stages of menopause, how it's different for everyone, and by making changes in your diet, sleep hygiene, physical activity, and more, a woman can live healthfully with the condition, entering a new chapter of life and feeling good about oneself. She also talks about the misconceptions of hormone replacement therapy as well as non-hormonal treatment options. Listen in at MedStarHealth.org/DocTalk.
