The Tree in the Room  

Have you ever heard the expression “the elephant in the room” to refer to a phenomenon which everyone ignores even though it’s the most obvious thing in the room?

Menopause Management - Dr. Barbie Taylor

Dr. Barbie Taylor, also known as “Menopause Barbie,” is an Obstetrician / Gynecologist who retired from active practice in 2001 due to severe arthritis. Despite the fact that she had a law degree and a master’s in business at the time of her retirement (she’s a real nerd and loves school), her true passion has always been helping women.
