What Your Mom Never Told You About Menopause: The Endocrinologist's Guide

Our final chat explores what really happens during the menopause transition and what women can do today to improve health decades from now We're following up our September's Dinner and A Chat on Menopause, ADHD, and Womanhood with a series of After Dinner Chats, which are curated community chats designed to bring like-minded, curious learners together. Join Dr. Rosana Ayoub, MD, MSCP, for an engaging community chat on What Your Mom Never Told You About Menopause: The Endocrinologist's Guide to Protecting Your Brain, Heart, Bones, Muscles, and Future. Dr. Ayoub will teach us to: • Describe how menopause affects multiple body systems beyond reproduction, including cardiovascular, skeletal, metabolic, cognitive, and musculoskeletal health. • Recognize evidence-based strategies—including lifestyle interventions and appropriate medical therapies—that support healthy aging during menopause. • Recognize when symptoms commonly blamed on menopause may actually signal another medical condition that deserves evaluation.
