My menopause story: Host Sandra Lindsay reveals her experience

In this episode, host Sandra Lindsay, RN, opens up about living with menopause with the goal of demystifying this phase of life and providing others in the same situation with hope and guidance. Sandra emphasizes the importance of finding certified menopause experts, and her OB/GYN, Jane Noah, MD, NCMP, and clinical health coach, Nadia Bey, M. A. /NBC-HWC, both weigh in as well.
