Find Inspiration and Information in Every Episode

Welcome to The Dusty Muffins, where three menopause specialists unite to inspire, empower, and uplift you through the wild ride of menopause and perimenopause. We're here to answer your burning questions, educate, and advocate with a touch of humor and a lot of heart. Whether you're curious, confused, or ready for authentic discussion, pull up a chair and join us. Remember: while we're clinicians, we're not your doctors. This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice. We encourage you to partner with your own medical clinician to address your unique health needs. This is The Dusty Muffins, where menopause meets sisterhood and strength!
