In this episode, I’m joined by Angela Jones, a nurse practitioner who specializes in women’s health and menopause care. We talk about perimenopause, menopause, hormones, sleep, bone health, weight changes, and how to advocate for yourself if you feel dismissed by a provider. Angela explains the difference between perimenopause and menopause, why symptoms can feel so unpredictable, and why women need better information and support during this stage of life.
