Today, our founder, Lori La Bey, had the honor of joining Stephanie Shaw on the Hello, Hot Flash<\/em> podcast to talk about how our bodies change when caring for a loved one when menopause hits. Lori discussed her journey caring for her mother, living with dementia, and how she now looks back and talks about symptoms she didn\u2019t even take into consideration, as she felt there was no time to care for herself. Lori knows now how important it is not to neglect one\u2019s own health, even when caring for another.<\/p>\n
