In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Donal O\'Gorman, co-founder and CEO of identifyHer, to discuss perimenopause and menopause on the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart podcast. Dr. O\'Gorman has previously focused on exercise science and the prevention of chronic diseases and realized the lack of information regarding women\'s health and menopause. They talk about the age range for perimenopause, the symptoms women may experience, and the need to address these issues.
