Session 319: Demystifying Menopause Part II
Description
The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
Last week we started a very important conversation to help with demystifying what we know about menopause. Joining me for part II of this conversation is Dr. Chrissy Freeman. Dr. Freeman is a 2nd-year OBGYN resident physician currently working in California. In our conversation we explored common misconceptions created around menopause, how menopausal symptoms can show up differently for Black women, and what health risks menopausal individuals should be looking out for.
Please note that the information Dr. Freeman provided in this conversation is not to be considered medical advice, and any opinions shared are hers and do not reflect those of her employer or institution.

Hello! My name is Ester and my daughter sent me your link for your podcast. I have enjoyed listening to it and I will continue listening. I especially liked the the two about menopause because that's what I'm going through now. I went to a doctor two years ago and felt absolutely defeated when I left, she really dismissed me. In the near future will you do a podcast on menopause and smoking? I do remember the doctor wouldn't prescribe me anything for my hormones because I smoked at that time.
