Summary

Do you struggle with feeling you’re not enough? Fit enough? Successful enough? Lean enough? Enough, enough, enough. By the time we reach menopause, many of us have spent years, even decades, of our lives chasing enough. And, as this week’s guest, coach, trainer, and athlete Kristin DiDomenico knows, that relentless pursuit of perfection can take us down some pretty dark roads including addiction, eating disorders, and sometimes much worse. Kristin shares her own personal journey through all of it and what she learned after an extraordinary episode during a 10 mile race made her re-evaluate what matters most.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.3	Hello, strong, feisty women.
0:32.9	I hope you all are doing very well.
0:36.2	And before we get to it this week, a lot of you have sent me
0:40.2	the New York Times Magazine article asking for my thoughts on it. And the article for those who
0:45.6	missed it is women have been misled about menopause. Hot flashes, sleeplessness, pain during sex.
0:53.1	For some of menopause's worst symptoms, there's an established treatment.

1:17.2	Falbion, and Dr. Alram Blooming of Estrogen Matters. The article basically makes it clear
1:23.8	that it's absolute bullshit that women are still fighting their doctors for
1:28.9	menopausal hormone therapy. The author herself describes how she goes to her doctor with hot
1:34.8	flashes and brain fog and other concerns and her doctor basically says, eh, that's normal aging,
1:41.2	and that we only prescribe hormones for significant symptoms. And my head
1:47.3	exploded. Like, who is to tell you what significant symptoms are? If you are having your life
1:54.8	disrupted, it is significant. Full stop. It makes me insane that we are still being treated like children,
2:02.9	and the whole thing, the whole thing just makes me super angry. I am very glad to see that
