In this episode we are joined by the wonderful Dr. Arianna Sholes-Douglas for the third installment in a series on Menopause, exploring how we can breathe new life into this stigmatized and underserved time in a woman's life—where historically women have been neglected in terms of medical, emotional and societal support. A self-described "menopause revolutionist," Dr. Arianna is the author of The Menopause Myth, one of the most exciting and original books that have been published recently on this topic. And like Dr. Arianna, it's both heartfelt and unflinchingly honest. And that's why you're going to love this podcast. Dr. Arianna shares refreshing views on a host of menopause-related issues including: profound misconceptions about the female clitoris; how the medical system in the US has mostly failed menopausal women; the real likelihood of women "missing" the early signs of the perimenopause to menopause transition, the benefits and misconceptions surrounding Hormone Replacement Therapy; and so much more. This podcast is definitely a juicy one. So check it out!
