Why does the transition through perimenopause and menopause so heavily impact our emotional well-being—and how do we distinguish between a clinical mental health issue and a hormonal transition? In this episode, Gerianne DiPiano sits down with psychologist, sex therapist, and medical advisory board member Dr. Juliana Hauser to trace the direct link between fluctuating hormones, mood changes, and sexual health. Together, they explain how the depletion of estrogen affects key regions of the brain, why foundational sex education matters in midlife, and how women can confidently self-advocate to reclaim their quality of life. Tune in for an honest look at the systemic gaps in women's healthcare and the practical steps you can take to finally get the symptom relief and medical support you deserve.
