Midlife and menopause can bring significant changes to a woman’s health, but having trusted information can make all the difference.
Recently, Dr. Patricia McLelland, a physician with Galen OB/GYN East, joined the Speakeasy podcast to discuss the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes many women experience during midlife and menopause. The conversation explores practical, evidence-based approaches to staying healthy during this stage of life, including the importance of eating fresh, whole foods, prioritizing quality sleep, maintaining healthy daily habits, and focusing on overall wellness.
Dr. McLelland also discusses the growing menopause industry and the importance of looking beyond trends and marketing claims to make informed decisions about your health. Her goal is to help women better understand their options and feel empowered to navigate midlife with confidence.
For those looking to learn more, Dr. McLelland also publishes a Substack featuring educational articles, expert perspectives, and helpful resources on women’s health, menopause, wellness, and health. She is also publishing a book set to be released in 2026.
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms yourself or simply want to better understand this important phase of life, these resources provide valuable information from a trusted physician.
