Join Alloy's very own Dr. Corinne Menn, and community manager Rachel Hughes for their conversation on ALL things MHT!
If you don’t know Dr. Corinne Menn, it’s time you do! Dr. Menn is our medical advisor and a prescribing physician here at Alloy. She’s a board-certified OBGYN with over 20 years of experience and certified menopause practitioner with the Menopause Society. She has dedicated her medical practice to focusing on menopause management, the unique health care needs of female cancer survivors, and those at high risk for breast cancer.
Dr. Menn is also an over 20 year survivor of breast cancer and premature menopause, using her personal experience as a patient along with her professional training to help women navigate their own health challenges.
She is a dedicated advocate and volunteer for the Young Survival Coalition, serving on their Council of Advisors for Patient Education and leading their Provider-Survivor Support Group. She also serves on the Breast Cancer Alliance Research Grant Committee and through her work with YSC and the BCA helps raise awareness on managing collateral damages of breast cancer treatment and premature menopause.
