Dr. Mary Claire Haver

We're not teaching that by and large.

Now we're working on it.

We need a robust menopause curriculum, which is not available in most programs.

So it is really sadly up to us to educate ourselves.

Sometimes we'll know more than the doctor.

And one thing we've tried to do at The Pause Life, if you go to our website and you look at the menopause empowerment guide, it's free.

It's what, 15 pages now?

We keep dumping more stuff in it.

It is a set of resources with tons of links available for you to educate yourself and resources for you to take into your clinician so that hopefully you can maybe educate them some and be able to get what you need.

Also, we have resources on how to find doctors who are menopause certified.

You can go to menopause.org for the Menopause Society and try to find a menopause educated clinician there as well.

I thought perimenopause was just about periods and hot flashes.

Why do I feel like my entire body is breaking down?

That's a great question.

Because we have estrogen receptors and those on video, we're going to fly in an image here.

There's a great study.

It was the first time I saw this.

It absolutely just stopped me in my tracks.

It was the location of the G-coupled estrogen receptors.

throughout the human body.
