Let's Talk Perimenopause, Menopause and more with Dr. Famuyide and Dr. Kanagaratnam
In this inaugural episode of Season 2, Dr. Ify sits down with two leading Canadian menopause clinicians — Dr. Christina Kanagaratnam (Calgary; Spring Creek Medical Centre) and Dr. Omolayo Famuyide (Winnipeg; Layo Centre) — for a candid, myth-busting conversation on perimenopause and menopause. They define the stages, unpack why symptoms vary so widely, and explain evidence-based options from lifestyle to non-hormonal therapies to menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). They cover bone and heart health, metabolic shifts, brain fog, sleep, mood, sexual health/GSM, fibroids and endometriosis, plus what the SWAN and WHI studies actually mean. The trio also tackles access, culture, and representation — why many racialized women present later, and how partners can support. Gynecologic issues which can be in the spotlight such as fibroids are discussed as well. Practical, compassionate, and grounded in the data, this episode is a starter pack for navigating ife with confidence.
