Summary

Sarah and Coach Liz get real with esteemed women’s health advocate and OB/GYN Dr. Jen Gunter, author of the just-released The Menopause Manifesto. In answering questions posed by the AMR Facebook community, Dr. Jen details:

-an enlightening way of looking at “menopause transition”;

-solutions for heavy periods (including a testimonial from Liz);

-current thinking on hormone replacement, soy supplementation, and herbal options;

-her own solution to combatting menopausal weight gain (including this book);

-how to cultivate desire (here’s the book she recommends); and,

-a theory about Snow White, plus an appealing scenario involving Daniel Craig!

In the intro, Liz shares details about the duathlon she just raced and the “zone of discomfort” (both on and off the course!) she entered. Dr. Jen joins at 12:18 (and if somewhat candid sex talk isn’t for you or young ears, skip 51:57 - 57:53).
