In this episode of the Health by the Hirsch podcast, I sit down with Pilar Guzman, the editorial director of Oprah Daily, to discuss her journey in transforming midlife women's health and launching The Book of Menopause. We dive deep into breaking down the stigma around hormone replacement therapy, updating medical education for clinicians, and understanding the continuous spectrum of perimenopause.
