With women delaying pregnancy, the year you start flashing just might coincide with the year you are sending your son or daughter off to college. If you are a mid-life woman who has college-bound kids, you need to know that things have changed …a lot…since you left home and went off to school. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Jill Grimes, a family physician and the author of The ULTIMATE College Student Health Handbook: your guide to everything from Hangovers to Homesickness.
