Mental Health and the Menopausal Transition with Dr. Heather Hirsch & Alicia Jackson Ph.D.

Listen to Dr. Allie Sharma in conversation with Dr. Heather Hirsch and Dr. Alicia Jackson as they speak on the context of why menopause care has taken a back seat in the last 30 years, the science of menopause, where mental health fits in, treatments including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal treatments, and why we need to have compassion for this important phase of life.

Heather Hirsch MD MS NCMP is a certified internist practicing private telemedicine at Heather Hirsch MD, PLLC, and helps women experiencing symptoms of menopause and peri-menopause go from feeling confused, symptomatic and stuck with their doctors to becoming symptom-free, educated and empowered so their can thrive again in mid-life.
