Excited to have my piece on perimenopause published @thetransmitter.bsky.social

"Perimenopause: An important—and understudied—transition for the brain"

We need more studies & better education -we need this to be mainstream- knowledge is power! #WomensHealth

Perimenopause: An understudied transition for the brain
