In this episode of "But My Vagina Still Works: Mental Wellbeing and Lifestyle Changes," host Sheryce Watson discusses her journey of creating a menopause wellness journal, initially published in 2024. She shares her experiences navigating menopause, from "menopause fog" in 2005 to her transition to post-menopause in 2012. Sheryce highlights the three main sections of her journal—physical, emotional, and social wellness—and emphasizes holistic solutions for managing menopause symptoms. New additions to her journal include sections on the endocannabinoid system, brain health, and chakra balancing. Sheryce also talks about the importance of hormone replacement therapy and its evolving understanding by the FDA.
