Why Women and Men Age Differently and the Secret Benefits of Menopause - With Dr. Mindy Pelz

For decades, the topic of menopause has been overlooked, misunderstood, and undertreated. As more science emerges, more experts are sharing the truth about how women’s brains and bodies shift during this important, transformative change. On today’s show, you’re going to learn about what actually happens during menopause and how to embrace and reclaim menopause.
