Perhaps more today than ever before, women are having an especially difficult time finding credible information about how to treat symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Social media has certainly exacerbated the situation, but so have some in the medical and pharmaceutical communities that have a financial stake in steering women towards synthetic and mass-produced treatments.
Dr. Angela DeRosa, in an episode of the Women Worldwide podcast, discusses the importance of women gaining access to information about treatments that can better serve them, especially the use of compounded hormone therapies. Such a treatment, she says, can help alleviate many menopausal symptoms, including sleeplessness, irritability, and reduced executive function, and even protect against related cardiovascular ailments.
