Join me on this conversation that promises to be both informative and empowering, offering scientific insights along with practical guidance for women navigating through menopause. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding and acceptance of these changes, advocating for a holistic approach to health and wellness during this transformative period. *For more information you can visit @annmariemcqueenad [https://www.instagram.com/annmariemcqueenad?igsh=d2xwNXR1Z2g5eGhi] or @hotflashinc [https://www.instagram.com/hotflashinc?igsh=c29nc3E2ZG1ucjVy] Hosted by: Rania Masri El Khatib [https://www.raniamasrielkhatib.com/]
