New medical innovations will offer life-altering solutions to chronic menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, “brain fog”, low mood, difficulty sleeping, migraines, aches and pains, midlife and mature women seek more, and the healthcare system recognizes that it’s time for monumental change.
