What I learned was surprising - and disturbing.
It’s about perimenopause – the stage before menopause – that can begin in women as early as their 30’s. And it’s often misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated according to endocrinologist Jerilynn Prior who has studied this field for decades.
She says there’s a lot of confusion and lack of awareness about what perimenopause is – even with many medical doctors. And that’s despite the research and evidence that exists on what happens during this stage and what treatments can actually help.
Actually our conversation covers a lot more than perimenopause. It’s about the chemistry of being female and understanding what happens to our bodies - and our brains - at an important stage of life.
