Let’s read Dr. Kelly Casperson’s bestseller The Menopause Moment and talk about it, along with topical videos.
Did you know that menopause is defined as beginning a year after your last period and continuing until the end of your life? Women Boomers have been basically put out to pasture because of a colossal medical blunder by the medical community, as a result of the Women’s Health Initiative. Someone concluded that hormone replacement therapies in older women would cause breast cancer. OOPS. They read the data wrong. There was never any connection.
Dr. Kelly Casperson, a urologist in the state of Washington, has become a vocal advocate for correcting this blunder. Many medical problems common in women might be a direct result of no or low hormones essential for our biochemistry. She’s carrying a torch to correct the mistake and make us healthier and more whole. Hormones can protect our hearts, brains, bones, energy…the list goes on.
This is a Zoom course which you can view in your own home. Or with sufficient interest, you can attend with a group and watch it on the big screen in the Belfast Center Senior College classroom.
Students should obtain the book, The Menopause Moment, by Dr. Kelly Casperson.
