About this episode

Dr. Mary Claire Haver discusses the hidden chaos of perimenopause and the misdiagnosis of women's health issues.

Best-selling author Dr. Mary Claire Haver breaks down the hidden chaos of perimenopause and why millions of women are being misdiagnosed or dismissed.  Learn more about Dr Mary Claire Haver's book "The New Perimenopause" here .
