Why do women still struggle with menopause symptoms in silence?

Why is there still so little research and so much misinformation about women’s health?

In this episode, Tamsen Fadal – Emmy award-winning journalist, author, and passionate advocate for women’s health – shares her personal journey through perimenopause and menopause. She opens up about dealing with brain fog, anxiety, and sleepless nights, and why she left a successful 30-year career in journalism to change the conversation around menopause and midlife.

From the inspiration behind her PBS documentary The M Factor to her new book How to Menopause, Tamsen dives deep into:

  • The healthcare gaps in women’s hormone care
  • The stigma of aging in the workplace
  • The importance of community, advocacy, and personalized health care
  • Whether HRT or natural remedies are right for you
  • Why midlife is not a crisis—it’s a new beginning

If you or someone you love is going through menopause or perimenopause, this episode is a must-watch for navigating the changes, understanding your options, and learning how to reclaim your health and confidence.

 Listen in and discover why menopause is NOT just a women’s issue, but a societal and cultural one we all need to talk about.
