## Resource

This episode came out of Katie’s recent spiral over realizing perimenopause and menopause are ahead, and how wildly unprepared most women are for it. We get into symptoms, the silence around it, the research gaps, the lack of real medical education, and why so many women often enter this stage of life blindly.
