Hormonal health isn’t a conversation relegated to the future or the past; it matters throughout our lives. Jewish tradition teaches that seeking wisdom is itself a sacred act. For generations, women have shared stories and advice about hormones, menopause and aging. Now, that wisdom can be rooted in science. Join Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein in conversation with internationally renowned physician Dr. Sarah Berga for an enlightening discussion about what the science really says about women’s hormonal health. Together, they’ll challenge common misconceptions, explore hormone therapy and empower women with evidence-based information to make informed decisions about their health and well-being—at every age and stage.
