This is Menopause
Welcome to the SWS podcast, This is Menopause, where together we explore the marvelous, and yes, sometimes treacherous, journey of menopause and that mysterious detour, perimenopause. We’re here to rewrite these chapters, to change her story. Your hosts, Dr. Angela McCool-Pearson and Dr. Christy Guepet, are board-certified gynecologists and certified menopause specialists. But more importantly, they’re menopausal women themselves. They’ve dedicated their careers to women’s health, and they’re deeply committed to helping women age well through midlife and beyond. This isn’t just clinical expertise; it’s personal. It’s a message of hope and humor, armed with scientific data and real-life experiences. We believe the best is truly yet to come. With a passion for educating women about the changes happening in their bodies, Dr. Pearson and Dr. Guepet want to empower you to think about the impact these changes have on your life. They’re here to serve as your interpreters, cutting through the noise and offering SWS solutions for the good life – solutions they choose for themselves and offer to their patients. Their goal is a natural result: not to change you, but to reveal you. To help you rediscover a part of yourself you might have lost, and uncover a part you never knew was there. Have you missed yourself? It’s time for a reintroduction. They can help you reintroduce yourself. Let’s be real: aging well is hard work. But it’s absolutely doable, and we are right there with you. Because if you don’t feel good, you might miss out on those precious moments – enjoying your kids, your parents, travel, intimacy, and more. When your body is functioning at its best, you open yourself up to a life filled with joy.
