In this episode of the Thriving Thru Menopause podcast, Clarissa invites Dr Alicia Jackson, CEO and Founder of EverNow, a digital health company specializing in women's menopause and perimenopause health.
They explore common misconceptions about menopause and perimenopause, highlighting the need for more comprehensive understanding and treatment options.
Dr Jackson shares insights from their data-driven research on symptoms experienced by women, emphasizing the importance of individualized approaches in managing menopause.
They also discuss the societal impact of menopause, particularly in the workplace and the urgent need for businesses to recognize and address this issue. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the offerings from EverNow and the value of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
Key Takeouts from Our Conversation:
1. Menopause is more than just symptoms - it's about your long-term health - brain, bone, and cardio-metabolic.
2. Symptoms start sooner than you think - as early as your late thirties and early 40's.
3. Often, symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause aren't what you are thinking of Fatigue, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression. It's so much more than hot flashes.
