This season, we're discussing perimenopause and how technology intersects with this often overlooked phase of life.

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with Heidi Davis. She's the CEO and co-founder of Peri, a groundbreaking wearable device designed to help women track their symptoms and gain objective data to discuss with healthcare providers. With a global perspective and background in nutrition and molecular medicine, Heidi is at the forefront of a movement that’s changing the narrative around women’s health.

Layered over our conversation, you'll also hear insights from Dr. Lareessa Ferdinand, a board-certified ob-gyn and perimenopause expert.

This episode is a blend of technology, clinical expertise, and lived experiences, all aimed at empowering women to understand their bodies better. As a physician, I find these discussions not only informative but also essential for my growth as a healthcare provider.

Topics include:

• How perimenopause manifests differently for each woman, influenced by factors like race, ethnicity, and personal health history.
• The role of technology in providing real-time feedback rather than relying on memory or guesswork.
• Examples of personal stories and collective action in driving change, illustrating how women sharing their experiences can lead to systemic changes in healthcare.
• The importance of data that reflects the unique experiences of women, facilitating informed conversations with healthcare providers, and moving away from outdated guidelines and assumptions.
