Hormones and Hot Flashes

Women make up 50 percent of the world’s population and every one of us will go through menopause. Unfortunately, far too many will do so without a comprehensive—or even adequate—understanding of what is happening to our bodies and moods during this transition. Are there people in your life you want to share your experience with but don’t feel you can? Then this group is for you. Please join us on the fourth Sunday of every month to chat and color while listening to episodes of The Merry Menopause Bookclub podcast, The Happy Menopause podcast, the Itchy and Bitchy podcast and more.
