Perimenopause SOS: Dr. Laura to the Rescue!

In the Beginning: Why We Need to Talk About Our Ovaries

By Teresa Alleyne | Conversations with Teresa

Last night on the podcast, I had an amazing conversation with Dr. Laura Duncan, a certified menopause specialist. We went back to where it all starts, the ovaries.

We often only talk about ovaries during puberty or pregnancy. But Dr. Duncan reminded us that these organs do so much more. They impact brain health, bone density, muscle strength, and our entire well-being. And yet, unless there’s a health crisis, we rarely give them the attention they deserve.

What stood out to me most was how little we talk about this vital part of our body. By our 30s, ovarian function has already declined significantly, but no one’s talking about it. Understanding this earlier can help us stay stronger and healthier in the long term.

Why You Should Listen!

This episode is a great starting point for women of all ages. Don’t wait for symptoms to show up. Let’s educate ourselves now so we can thrive later.

Tune in and let me know what you think!
