Cocktails and Conversation: Women's Health
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Erin Kunkel, double-board certified in OBGYN and obesity medicine, as well as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, about the intersection of women's hormonal changes across the lifespan and how they affect our health. Midlife women's health is having a much needed cultural moment. After a 2002 study effectively halted all prescribing of hormone therapy, women have been suffering unnecessarily and largely in silence, their concerns about perimenopause, weight gain, and a shifting sense of wellbeing and health being minimized or ignored entirely. We are now finally rising up out of the rubble of this decades long embargo on menopause medicine and hormone therapy, but the information out there is boundless and confusing to say the least. Frenetic, urgent, and at times catastrophic declarations about your hormonal health in midlife abound on social media, and it's hard to know where to turn. Join us for some of the answers to your questions.
When: Wednesday, February 25 from 5:30-7:30 PM
Where: 517 Atwells Avenue, Providence
Parking is available in the D’Amico & Burchfield lot across the street (536 Atwells Avenue) as well as on Atwells and Harris Avenue.
