Summary
In this episode, former news anchor turned menopause advocate and New York Times best selling author, Tamsen Fadal (who I proudly call the “Menopause Queen”), reveals the shocking reality of women's healthcare during midlife transitions. With over 1 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2025, it's shocking how unprepared most feel. Tamsen shares her personal journey as a former news anchor who experienced severe menopause symptoms and felt gaslit by the medical community – from hearing excuses like “it’s just stress” or “you’re in menopause…period”.
Her bestselling book, 'How to Menopause', became a beacon for many women navigating similar experiences. We dive deep into the controversial truths about hormone replacement therapy, the identity crisis that accompanies menopause, and why the fear of breast cancer has prevented an entire generation from accessing effective treatment. Tamsen shares how she transformed her health crisis into her life's mission and offers practical guidance for women ready to take charge of their menopause journey.
This isn't just another hormone conversation—it's a roadmap for thriving through one of life's biggest transitions. Whether you're in perimenopause, menopause, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you think about women's health and aging.
