Menopause is a natural part of the cycle of life for women, but until recently, it was rarely discussed. That is changing and on this episode of Another View, Dr. Betyshia Belardo, a triple Board- certified Family Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Menopause Physician, dedicated to optimizing the health and well-being of women, and the co-host for Another View on Health, Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, discuss perimenopause and menopause in a candid conversation. This, and all Another View programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.
