@AdreanaInLB Really important subject, thanks for getting this out there. I'm just the IT guy, but I work on the SWAN Study, which you may have heard of. I'm working with some VERY smart researchers. I've learned a lot but of course there's still lots to learn. I'll let them know about your podcast. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! https://www.swanstudy.org/new-york-times-article-titled-menopause-is-different-for-women-of-color-features-swan-investigators-dr-sherri-ann-burnett-bowie-dr-monica-christmas-and-dr-rebecca-thurston/
