A must listen for all women in midlife

If you want to be a exposed to topics that are relevant to women in midlife then you really need to be listening to this one regularly. Ann Marie is a breath of fresh air in the midlife space!

Who dat? Yo! ,

Informative & Enlightening!!!!!

As a woman with Type 1 Diabetes, who has been struggling with Perimenopause symptoms for over 10 years, this has been a super helpful guide to having conversations with all my care providers from my Endocrinologist to my GP and Nurse Practitioners. Going down the rabbit hole of the how’s, what’s, and when (not to mention labs needed) has been so much easier and has helped the dreaded anxiety of not knowing if it’s “all in my head” or not.

This podcast has been a godsend!!!!

Highly recommend this podcast

Ann Marie brings a refreshing perspective to this topic as a journalist covering the research to find answers without a preconceived notion of what they will be. Her authenticity and sense of humor is an added bonus.
