Menopause Symptom Clusters (Pre-, Peri- and Post-): Shorts

Revisit a previous episode where hosts Tiffany Cruikshank and Katja Bartsch dive into a 2025 study analyzing more than 145,000 symptom logs from nearly 4,800 women pre- peri- and post-menopause. They discuss how symptoms can vary widely between individuals and across different stages of the transition, while also highlighting why emerging research should be interpreted with curiosity rather than certainty.

"The research is really making an effort to understand how women experience their transition on a daily basis." — Katja Bartsch.
