Memorable Quotes: "We should always have a shared decision-making. Medicine is not a totalitarian experience. It is not a dictatorship. The person with the most decision-making is the person's body, the person who's living in it. And so, the simple fact is if you're in an environment where your doctor is acting as a dictator, they should be fired because it is a shared decision-making, you working as a partner with your physician." – Betty Murray   "We outnumber men in this age space. We also have more disposable income, and we have more capacity to make change. We make 87% of buying decisions in the home. So, the reality is, ladies, you are powerful. And you can demand what you expect." – Betty Murray Links Mentioned: FREE E-Book “Mastering The Pause: The Guide to Menopause Mastery”: https://guide.hormoneshelp.com/     Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/
