8:00 pm 9 May 2026 JOSE FERNANDEZ0 Comments
I want to tell you something that no one in a busy hospital corridor has time to say: your body is not broken. It has never been broken. Even in illness — even in chronic, complex, difficult illness — the body is doing something purposeful.

Menopause is not a disease — it is a natural and significant life transition.
