Interactive Q&A.
“We were thrilled to welcome Loretta Dignam to one of our events at The Skin Nerd, where she educated over a hundred of our clients on the important topic of menopause. The response was overwhelmingly positive.
There’s no denying the direct link between menopause and skin health, something we encounter daily in our work. What made this session truly powerful was how it opened up a broader conversation: not just about the visible effects, but also the medical realities and lived experiences of menopause.
We came away enlightened, empowered, and deeply appreciative of the purpose-driven mission and educational insight that The Menopause Hub brings. We highly recommend their work and greatly admire their impact.”
