Where Do I Go for Care? With Dr. Daniela Steyn

"Talk to your doctor" sounds simple. Actually getting useful menopause care can be anything but.

In this episode of our special podcast series with WellnessMD, Jacquie Court sits down with Dr. Daniela Steyn to talk about how women can navigate menopause care in Canada.

They discuss where to begin, why some primary healthcare providers may be able to prescribe hormone therapy but may not have additional menopause training, and what to do when your doctor cannot provide the support you need.

You will also learn how to prepare for a short appointment, describe the impact of your symptoms more clearly and identify the one issue you most want addressed first.

Because "I'm tired" is true. But "I'm barely sleeping, I cannot focus at work and it is affecting my ability to function" gives your healthcare provider somewhere to begin.
