Sunita Rao

Sunita Rao writes the symptom guides for Midlife Atlas. She has covered 39 symptoms across the menopause transition, from the well known — hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, brain fog, mood swings — to the ones people are rarely warned about, including electric-shock sensations, formication, burning mouth syndrome, frozen shoulder, tinnitus, nail and gum changes, and shifts in body odor.

Her guides follow a consistent shape: what is happening and why, what the evidence says helps, and when a symptom is worth getting checked rather than managed at home.
