Every day, women come to me with complaints - fatigue, weight gain, anxiety and frustration being at the top of their lists. If you’ve ever had a baby, and felt the very real ups and downs of emotions that come with the immediate postpartum period - you already understand how acutely our hormones can dictate our thoughts and feelings. Too often, women’s concerns are dismissed, and not worked up by medical providers. This comes not from lack of caring, but lack of knowledge. Now, more than ever, we must educate ourselves on what is happening in our bodies as we age.
