Episode Overview

• Navigating Menopause: Andrea highlights the importance of understanding that menopause is a lifelong phase, similar to puberty. Women often mistakenly believe they are "past" menopause, but it remains a significant aspect of their health journey.
• Heart Disease Risks: The episode emphasizes that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, with risk factors increasing even before menopause. Dr. Manson discusses how lifestyle changes during this transition can help mitigate these risks.
