Menopause is a natural part of life—but how we experience it can vary dramatically. In this engaging and informative seminar, OB/GYN Elizabeth Johnson, MD, offers clarity and compassion as she explores the physical, emotional, and societal dimensions of menopause.

Dr. Johnson walks viewers through what to expect during perimenopause and postmenopause, how hormones affect everything from sleep to sex drive, and what options are available for symptom relief. She also discusses cultural attitudes around aging, why menopause isn't just "one size fits all," and how patients can advocate for themselves in a healthcare system that hasn’t always prioritized women’s health.

Whether you're in the middle of this transition, just beginning to notice changes, or supporting someone you love, this talk will leave you feeling informed and empowered.

What You’ll Learn:

The biological stages of menopause and how to recognize them
The impact of estrogen loss on mood, sleep, and vaginal health
Non-hormonal and hormonal treatment options for symptom relief
How menopause is viewed in different cultures
What to expect at the doctor’s office—and how to ask for what you need

Key Takeaways:

Menopause is a normal, individualized experience—not a medical problem
You are not alone, and you deserve care that listens and responds
There are multiple treatment paths available—relief is possible
Being informed can help you make confident choices about your health

Watch now to explore strategies for better sleep, mood stability, hot flash relief, and overall well-being through menopause and beyond.
