Your Gynecologist Can't Fix This: The Cardiometabolic Side of Menopause with Dr. Heather Hirsch

About this episode

Dr. Heather Hirsch discusses the cardiometabolic implications of menopause and the need for better care beyond traditional OB-GYN approaches.

Dr. Heather Hirsch, MD, Perimenopause & Mid-Life Expert, explains how treating menopause as an OB-GYN problem has deprived women of proper care — and what needs to change. From the heart and brain to bones and body composition, she lays out the full-body impact of this transition, and how to protect your health now, at any age.
