Fact vs. Fiction: The Truth About Menopause Supplements & Wellness Trends | Over 50 & Flourishing
There’s no shortage of wellness advice these days, but how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? From menopause supplements to skincare, hair growth, creatine, collagen, and everything in between, it can be hard to separate science from savvy marketing. This week, I’m joined by Shanley Chien is a Senior Health Editor at U.S. News & World Report. From spearheading U.S. News’ Healthy Aging Survey – which decodes the essential habits, common mistakes, and emerging longevity trends identified by medical experts – to serving as the annual editorial lead for the Best OTC Medicine & Health Products, Shanley is dedicated to helping people cut through the marketing noise to make informed, science-backed decisions for their everyday wellness.
