    Overview: Most perimenopausal and menopausal individuals will experience some symptoms. Up to 80% of women report some symptoms, with vasomotor symptoms being the most commonly reported; however, other symptoms such as sleep disturbance, sexual dysfunction, and mood can be present. These symptoms can have a tremendous negative impact on quality of life and well-being, yet many women remain untreated for their symptoms even though evidence-based treatments exist. Join us to discuss effective treatments and ways you can overcome barriers to providing evidence-based menopausal therapy.
