Dragana Skokovic-Sunjic, RPh MSCP, will explore the emerging science of the microbiome and its relationship to menopause, with a focus on which interventions are currently supported by evidence—and which remain theoretical. She will review the role of the gut, vaginal, and urinary microbiomes in menopausal symptoms, metabolic health, and overall well-being.

Ms. Skokovic-Sunjic will also discuss the clinical relevance of probiotics, diet, and microbiome-targeted interventions, helping clinicians separate hype from data. This session is designed to support informed, evidence-based conversations with patients navigating menopause in an increasingly crowded and confusing wellness landscape.
