October is Menopause Awareness Month, and in recognition of this, I’m dedicating every episode to unique and important conversations about menopause. In April, I hosted an incredible event with leading experts: Dr. Sheila Wajayasignhe, Janet Ko, founder of the Menopause Foundation of Canada, and menopause coach and fitness expert Amanda Thebe. Together, these experts tackled all the big questions: - What is menopause, and does everyone experience it?- How severe can the symptoms get, and are any of them dangerous? - What treatments are available, and is hormone therapy suitable for everyone? - How do I access proper care, and what can I do if my doctor isn’t taking me seriously? - How can lifestyle changes help manage symptoms? - What can I do if my mental health is suffering? - How does menopause affect sex drive and urinary incontinence? - Why am I gaining weight, and how can I stop it? Plus, we addressed even more audience questions, diving deep into every aspect of this life transition. We cover it all—so tune in to listen, learn, and even share a laugh on the next episode of *Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo*.Episode supported by Always Discreet (@AlwaysDiscreet (https://www.instagram.com/alwaysdiscreet/?hl=en) on Instagram)! Click here for your Always Discreet coupon: https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb (https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb)Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo (https://www.instagram.com/melissagrelo/?hl=en) and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG (https://www.instagram.com/agingpowerfullywithmg/?hl=en), or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com (https://www.agingpowerfullywithmelissagrelo.com/).
