Consumer Video and Podcast Series

The Menopause Society is proud of its comprehensive video and podcast series on important menopause topics. All interviews in the series are hosted by former Menopause Society Board of Trustees Member and Past-President, Dr. Marla Shapiro, a Canadian physician who led this exciting initiative. Dr. Shapiro is also a medical consultant for CTV News.

The Consumer Video and Podcast Series is intended to provide practical information on current topics of interest. The interviews are not official positions of The Menopause Society but opinions of those being interviewed. Healthcare professionals must always take into consideration the individual patient along with any new data published after the release of the video.

Companion videos and podcasts for your healthcare professional are also available.
