Great Info but…

Would love to hear more about hair loss which is affecting so many of us and devastating our confidences. More discussion please especially around FFA.

Sound issue

Love the podcast but intro is loud but her voice is so faint, got volume all the way up and still have to keep phone close to my ear.
AngelaNeale

Love love love!

This odd a great podcast! I recommend it every week to my friends and I share it on social media. I wish that all women would listen weekly and especially to episode 200. Oh and doctors should listen too!
lovetolearn4

So helpful!

A must listen if you’re a woman in your 40s and 50s! Peri-menopause is no joke, and Dr. Heather gives great advice based on the latest evidence!
The Fancy Nancy

So much helpful information!!

Thank you for explaining so many of the nuances of menopause!
Troykati

A true blessing!

Last year at age 42 I found out that I was post menopausal. To say that I was shocked, would be an understatement! I immediately started reading and researching everything that I could and found Dr. Hirsch on YouTube. I am so grateful for the education I have received through this podcast and the encouragement in knowing that I am not alone.

Life Changing!

Dr. Hirsch is on a mission. A mission to educate and empower women in their quest for answers: “am I going crazy?” or “what happened to my body?” or “where did my libido go?”. For me personally, going into year 6 of perimenopause, she taught me to understand my debilitating symptoms and my options. Hormone therapy is not the only answer but it is the answer for me. And she empowered me with KNOWLEDGE so I could have an actual dialogue with my physician and get the treatment I need! She is saving lives cause we have been invisible for far too long! Highly recommend her “Reclaiming Menopause Masterclass”. It gave me super powers in terms of knowledge and ability to self-advocate. I am in awe of her every day and forever thankful! ❤️

A must listen for all women!!

I love having Dr. Heather’s evidence based advice on all things for women, especially on menopause matters. She also has wonderful, well respected guests on the podcast. She is easy to understand and really cares about women.
