I have been a student in the most life-changing class about perimenopause for the better part of this year. Actually, it’s a telehealth group – a group of patients meeting monthly for online sessions – under the care of Dr.Kristin Schnurr, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in complex endocrine concerns including perimenopause and postmenopause. In this episode, we explore: • how long perimenopause lasts• how to know which stage of perimenopause you're in• why vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) can be more serious than we think• the connection between ACE scores and perimenopausal symptoms and so much more!
