Nese is an experienced runner and her résumé includes not only several half marathons & marathons, but a 50k ultramarathon as well! She"s also a postmenopausal woman and generously sprinkles stories from her own menopause transition into this chat. We begin by defining the terms menopause, perimenopause and postmenopause, discussing common symptoms and why those might occur, and reviewing some of the treatment options available. Then we touch on best practices for having a healthy menopause, some of the new osteoporosis guidelines recently released by Osteoporosis Canada, and what women can get excited about during this stage of life!
