The Surprise of Perimenopause with Jane Epstein
Episode #19 Many of us are in the throws of raising our children and the changes happening to our bodies can go unnoticed or explained away. "I'm just exhausted because it's a busy season, " or perhaps "I'm just moody because of my kids" When in fact perimenopause and the multitude of hormonal changes can sneak up on us,
On today's episode, we interview Jane Epstein Nurse Practitioner of Albuquerque Sex Therapy, and offers menopause and perimenopause support.
With 35 years of experience, Jane Epstein, NP, is a nurse practitioner certified by the Menopause Society and trained as a Sexuality Counselor. She understands that midlife women, juggling careers and raising children, can be blindsided and confused by the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Jane provides these women with a safe space to discuss their changing bodies and their sexual relationships. She explores options to address the menopausal transition, helping women navigate this significant life stage with confidence and understanding.
