Medical guidance regarding menopause has been far from consistent over the last twenty years. Many women were left to find alternative therapies on their own, often seeking the guidance of non-medical authors and celebrities. But the medical approach to menopause management has evolved in a positive direction. Dr. Janice Weiss, a family physician at Medcan, will highlight the evidence-based, effective and safe ways to navigate this life stage with knowledge and dignity.

Dr. Weiss will discuss:

• Common symptoms of menopause, including many symptoms frequently experienced but not discussed
• Up-to-date medical perspectives on herbal supplements, “bio-identical” hormones and prescription hormone therapy
• Recommended medical approaches
