For many women, menopause represents an unrelenting assault on health and well-being. But menopause doesn’t have to be a time of crisis. Learn how you can make the most of midlife by understanding hormonal changes, menopause, bone health, heart disease, cancer, sex and nutritional needs.
Now is the time to ask your questions in a secure online setting with Women’s Health expert, Holly L. Thacker, MD. Dr. Thacker will be available to answer your questions about women’s health, the effects of aging, menopause and current understanding of the role of hormone therapy.
