In this episode of What I Wish I Knew, host Irene Ortiz-Glass sits down with Sylvia Kang, the co-founder and CEO of Mira, a company dedicated to giving women the power of lab testing at home. They discuss the importance of understanding and tracking hormonal changes, especially during perimenopause and menopause.
