In this episode, Jacquie Court and I discuss how menopause care works in Canada, why some healthcare providers may be hesitant to prescribe hormone therapy and where women can look for additional support. We also explain how to prepare for an appointment, describe the impact of your symptoms and identify the issue you most want help addressing.
