Menopause 101: Symptoms, Hormones and the Mental Toll with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg
About this episode
Diana Maria Riva and Dr. Suzanne Gilberg discuss menopause, its symptoms, and the mental health implications for women.
Host Diana Maria Riva is joined by OB/GYN Dr. Suzanne Gilberg as they dive head first into a deep discussion on menopause and the vast information and science now available to women. From the more obvious symptoms such as brain fog, mood swings, and low sex drive, to the less obvious like heart disease, type 2 diabetes , and other silent effects of inflammation. Covering topics such as the shocking statistics of dementia and Alzheimer’s diagnosis in women, Diana and Dr. Gilberg discuss what perimenopause and menopause can actually look like, as well as the healthy and proactive ways to stay informed and empowered in self advocacy. Their in-depth dialogue also taps into the mental health component, and those “I need a RX for my UTI..” phone calls to your doctor at 5:01pm on a Friday. Find The Menopause Bootcamp here .
