How did this journey start…

Working in healthcare I have a passion for education and good health in general. An OB/GYN in the past listened to me and my healthcare needs when I was going through perimenopause (even though I did not know exactly what was going on at the time). I was placed on some combination hormone pills at the time that worked very well. In the mean-time my passion for education took over- initially I read a book and came up with my plan- the as more patients asked me questions that I was not sure about my real journey began. I have read numerous books related to the menopause experience, taken classes, read text books and taken certification exams. Still in 2024 when I went to the GYN for a health issue- I got questioned about my plan and why would I want to take hormones unless I had significant signs and symptoms. Disappointment ensued and I continue my quest to educate women on changes their bodies are going through with this menopause journey.
