Peri/menopause 101: What Every Woman Should Know
Nearly half the population will go through menopause, yet most of us enter perimenopause with almost no idea what's actually happening to our bodies — or what to do about it.
Join Sophia Yen, MD, MSCP, Co-Founder & CEO of Pandia Health, for a no-nonsense, myth-busting session on:
What perimenopause and menopause actually are (and how they differ from "just getting older")
The real symptom list — beyond hot flashes, including the brain fog, sleep, mood, and word-finding struggles that rarely get talked about
What treatment actually looks like today — the current, evidence-based options
Debunking the breast cancer/estrogen myth — where the fear came from, what the research actually shows now, and how to think about risk
Where to go for trustworthy answers — vetted resources so you're not left Googling at 2am
