Description

Unlike puberty, when your mother sat you down and explained what to expect with your first period, it is the rare mother who tells her daughter what to expect from her first hot flash, what to do about it, or even what menopause is. In fairness to moms everywhere, no one explained it to them. 
In this first episode, Dr. Streicher covers:
The frustrating disparity between help for mid-life men versus mid-life women

WHAT menopause is
WHEN it typically happens

WHY women enter menopause at different times

HOW long menopause lasts
Other Pauses such as Perimenopause, EARLY menopause, Premature menopause, Primary Ovarian Insufficiency  

How to Know if you are Officially in menopause

IF you should get a hormone test
