Show Notes

When your body starts to feel unfamiliar — your sleep changes, anxiety appears out of nowhere, migraines intensify, weight shifts, hormones fluctuate — it can be hard to know where to begin. In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with Carley Cassity, NP, for a smart, candid conversation about preventive medicine, perimenopause, and why so many women are looking for a different kind of care.

The SEAM Podcast is produced by the Lynne Cohen Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to breast and ovarian cancer prevention, early detection, and expanded access to preventive care. https://lynnecohenfoundation.org/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
