Dr. Amy Voedisch and Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su attended the Menopause Society’s annual conference in September 2024. It wasn’t just a chance for them to hang out with each other in person, it was also a great opportunity to gain the latest insights into perimenopause and menopause.

In this episode of OvaryActive, the Docs share their top takeaways from the Menopause Society’s conference. The sessions they attended covered a wide range of topics from understanding hormonal fluctuations to the significance of nutrition and weight management for women during “The Change.” They also heard about new guidelines for breast cancer screenings.

The biggest takeaway of all is the importance of a personalized approach for women and their healthcare, because no two people experience perimenopause and menopause the same way.

Make sure you pass this episode along to a friend, sister, colleague, or any woman you know that maybe, just maybe, has mentioned one of the MANY symptoms that could indicate perimenopause.
