In this episode of OvaryActive, Drs. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Amy Voedisch explain recent studies with relevant findings for women's health. First, they look at a study focused on the effects of using topical estrogen during perimenopause and menopause. They also discuss findings from a study on hormone therapy's impact on biological aging.

We would have called this episode "What Fresh Hell is This?" but the title was already taken.

But this title also works, because when we mention perimenopause to people, we often get that confused German Shepherd head tilt and "periwhatnow?" Given that this podcast is focused around perimenopause, we wanted to make sure listeners were clear on what perimenopause actually is.

Why are women's bodies and their health so poorly understood and so often ignored, especially after their best baby-making years?

In this first episode, the docs introduce themselves, give you their credentials so you know you're getting accurate, up-to-date information, and explain why they've decided to take on perimenopause in their podcast.
