Moodiness, weight gain, thinning hair, dry skin, sleep problems and of course the all too common and dreaded Hot flashes. Care to take a guess as to what these symptoms are associated with? It’s that “M” word. I’m talking about MENOPAUSE.
Research shows that 75 million women in the United States are dealing with perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause right now. It’s a real issue that has ignited conversation in the White House. There is legislation on the table that would strengthen & expand federal research on menopause. It’s a bill called The Advancing Menopause & Mid-Life Women’s Health Act. We are learning more about it on this edition of Community Connections with JD.
