🎧 This Week’s Health Beat

Since COVID, there has been increasing attention on women’s mental health. Initially, the media focused on moms, but what about women who are 35+ and transitioning into menopause - in other words, if you fall into this age range, you are likely in perimenopause. This means your hormones are shifting throughout the day and every day - shifting from the way your body has operated since you exited puberty. As a result, your menstrual cycle starts to get out of whack, your breasts may get tender, and brain fog, anxiety, and/or depression sneak up on you. YIKES!

I had the honor of interviewing Dr Allie Sharma about mental health in this stage of life. Check out this preview. Know you are not alone and there are solutions! You are not crazy.

🧐 A Scary New Statistic: The First Generation to Have More Cancer Than Their Parents: “The fight against cancer is not only continuing, it is changing. I've seen it anecdotally in my own practice, with younger and younger people presenting with cancers that, by the books I read in medical school, are supposed to present in those who are older. We're making progress, of course; it is clearly better to have cancer now than it was to have cancer 50 years ago.”
