About this episode

Alison and Julie discuss perimenopause and the implications of social media age bans for children.

Alison and Julie sit down to give listeners a brief overview of perimenopause- definitions, diagnosis, and treatment. We hope to bring some clarity and simplicity to a quickly changing field of medicine. In future episodes we will dive deeper into some of the subject matter we briefly discuss today! Then we flip to asking the question- will social media age bans help to protect our kids? What do these bans really entail, and where may they fall short? We hope to draw some attention to this question in Canada specifically, where our government has been mostly silent on the topic. Update: Jan 21st article from Globe & Mail here titled, "Federal officials draft plans to ban social media for children under 14" If you enjoy our content, please help support us by following our podcast and giving us a review!
