She talks about combining Western and functional medicine for a more holistic and compassionate approach to menopause care. Dr. Kashyap shares her personal health journey and what it taught her about prevention, balance, and advocating for our own well-being. We also dive into some of the less-talked-about parts of midlife, like low libido, pelvic changes, and urinary incontinence and so much more.
