31 | Hormone Hot Topics: Perimenopausal Depression; Fear of Driving in Mid Life; Is Menopause Stalling Your Career?; The Connection Between Low Estrogen & Dementia

Hey friend!

 

Welcome to “Are You There, Midlife? It’s me, Monica.” Hi, I’m Monica and I’m super excited to bring you this week’s episode of “Hormone Hot Topics.” Every other Thursday, now through the end of summer, I’m bringing you the juicy scoop on the perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause stories making the news.

In today’s episode, I’ll sound off on the following headlines:

 

• Hormonal Depression: Why women in PERIMENOPAUSE are at a higher risk of developing depression than at any other stage in life

 

• Afraid to drive? Google searches for “Menopause driving anxiety” skyrocketed by 200% last year!

 

• The surprising new study that links menopause with an INCREASE in estrogen receptor density…and what this MIGHT mean for dementia prevention in women over 40

 

• Is perimenopause or menopause stalling your career? The prevailing stigma that women in mid-life are “less productive or emotionally stable” may be costing you that promotion

 

I can’t wait to give you my hot take on these Hot Hormone Topics and more! So grab a spoon as we stir the (iced) tea on today’s episode.
