Please enjoy my conversation with the illustrious, intelligent, and convivial Dr. Duncan Turner. He’s also a great listener, which makes him a great doctor.
There are over 1 BILLION women on our planet currently in menopause. Lord only knows how many who are in perimenopause and on the way as well.

Why women are good patients
WTF is Genitourinary Syndrome?
Why we need the North American Menopause Society (NAMS)
The definitions of perimenopause and menopause
