Why did NAMS (North American Menopause Society) rebrand to Menopause Society? “We can’t pigeon hole women’s health into the Ob/Gyns” – Dr. Casperson “Women’s health doesn’t belong to any one specialty” – Dr. Larkin Dr. Larkin shares her story about not being trained in menopause and her career journey and how she understands the WHI study. We talk about fezolinetant (Veozah) – the new non-hormonal medication for hot flashes. One of Dr. Larkin’s favorite thing to talk about is breast cancer risk assessment and prevention so we discuss this. We define dense breasts. Why alcohol just doesn’t make sense in midlife Dr. Larkin shares her personal journey with menopause symptoms and sexual dysfunction. And shares non-hormonal options. And what you can do without seeing your doctor. The role of confidence in midlife - lack of confidence in what to do and how Menopause Society/her clinic/my podcast can help - and what we see when women get confident and educated in midlife.
