Overview
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alyssa Dweck, a board-certified OB/GYN with over 25 years of clinical experience, named a top doctor by New York Magazine and Westchester Magazine, and the chief medical officer of Bonafide Health. Dr. Dweck brings a rare combination of traditional medical training and a genuine openness to natural solutions, making her the perfect guide through one of the most misunderstood and under-discussed transitions in a woman’s life. This conversation covers everything from perimenopause and menopause to sexual health, vaginal wellness, and why this stage of life deserves to be faced with optimism.
