Moving Beyond the Estrogen Myth to Understand Perimenopause
Confused about perimenopause? Wondering about bio-identical hormones? Looking for accurate information on how to safely and effectively manage hot flashes, heavy flow, sore breast, PMS, weight gain and sleeplessness? Dr. Jerilynn Prior, MD, UBC endocrinologist and author of Estrogen's Storm Season [1] and The Estrogen Errors: Why Progesterone is Better for Women's Health [2] will share her research and answer your questions. Drawing on 40 years of clinical practice specializing in women's reproductive health and her work as Scientific Director of Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research, Dr. Prior will give us the straight goods on what the science actually tells us about perimenopause versus what your doctor may think and believe.
