96. Hormones, Intimacy, and the Midlife Reset: A Real Conversation About Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Mia Cowen

This episode explores the often misunderstood and rarely discussed world of perimenopause and menopause, with an honest and empowering look at women’s health, hormones, and intimacy. My guest for this episode of Better with Dr. Ericka is Dr. Mia Cowan, a nationally recognized board certified gynecologist and the founder and medical director of MiBella Wellness Center.

Questions this episode will answer:

What is perimenopause, and how is it different from menopause?

What can be done to manage the symptoms of perimenopause?

How do perimenopause and menopause impact intimacy?

Are there other women’s health issues that affect intimacy?

Life does not end at perimenopause, and it certainly does not mean resigning yourself to the struggle bus. Even if you do not identify as a woman or are not personally experiencing menopause or perimenopause, chances are you know someone who is. There is something in this episode for everyone, so stay with us until the very end.
