Demystifying Menopause With Dr. Dineasha Potter-McQuilkin, MD, FACOG, DIPABLM, MACP
Description
In this episode of The Pause Pod, I sit down with Dr. Potter-McQuilkin, a double board-certified physician specializing in gynecology and lifestyle medicine, as well as a certified menopause practitioner.
In the midst of perimenopause herself, she shares her expertise on managing menopause symptoms and empowering women through holistic care.
We touch on the stigma and secrecy still surrounding menopause, emphasizing the importance of education and self-advocacy.
Dr. Potter-McQuilkin explains common and lesser-known symptoms, the role of lifestyle and genetics, and the benefits of both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments.
We also talk about the need for community support, particularly for Black women who experience more severe, longer-lasting symptoms due to the allostatic load.
The episode is a must listen that encourages women to seek specialized care and not to suffer in silence.
