Welcome back to another enlightening episode of Stay Juicy! I'm diving deep into the myths of menopause starting with a BIG ONE: That your provider was adequately trained to provide care for this stage of life. As a double-boarded obstetrician, gynecologist, and specialist in maternal fetal medicine, I've seen firsthand the gaps in knowledge and training about menopause within the medical community.
This episode will uncover the surprising reality that many gynecologists may not be as knowledgeable about menopause as you'd expect. I'll explore alarming statistics from residency programs, delve into the importance of self-advocacy in your healthcare, and discuss practical steps you can take if your provider falls short. From the emotional complexities to the biological nuances of menopause, I'm here to ensure you're informed, empowered, and above all, never left feeling dismissed.
So, tune in and remember, stay brilliant, stay beautiful, but most of all, stay juicy!
