Summary

The conversation around menopause is moving at lightspeed these days, with a wave of misinformation following quickly in its wake. So this week we sat down with the medical director of The Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society), Dr. Stephanie Faubion, author of The New Rules of Menopause to catch up on where we are with our understanding of menopause, menopause therapies, hormone testing, and much more.

Stephanie S. Faubion, M.D., M.B.A., is the Penny and Bill George Director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health and is chair of the Department of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Faubion has practiced as a physician in the Women’s Health Clinic at Mayo Clinic for over 18 years. She also serves as medical director for The Menopause Society. She has a broad interest in women’s health and has evaluated and treated women with menopausal, hormonal, and sexual health concerns. Her research encompasses sex and gender-based differences in disease, menopause, hormone therapy, healthy aging, and sexual health and dysfunction in women — addressing questions that come directly from the clinical dilemmas faced every day in medical practice. A leader in women’s health, Dr. Faubion, frequently lends her expertise to the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN, NBC News, and other national media.

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.
0:31.2	Hello, strong feisty women. I hope you all are well.
0:36.0	So, last year, around this time, I had a conversation with Dr. Stephanie
0:40.3	Fabian, the medical director of the North American Menopause Society, to talk about the current state of menopausal care.
0:47.6	Well, Dr. Falbion is back, and she is still the medical director, but now it's of the Menopause Society, which for those who
0:56.2	don't know is the new name of the North American Menopause Society. They rebranded back in July
1:02.3	with a new name and a new logo, a much better logo, if I must say, and a broad mission to lead
1:08.6	the conversation about improving women's health and health care experiences.
1:13.5	And she has a new book. It's called The New Rules of Menopause, a male clinic guide to perimenopause and beyond.
1:21.5	So I thought it was a good time to bring her back in and talk about where we are now and what those new rules are and all about
1:28.7	the current state of menopausal therapies because even though it was only a year ago,
1:34.6	the conversation around hormone therapy specifically has been moving at the speed of light
1:39.7	these days. And I want to make a note that about midway through this conversation, we get into a
1:47.5	discussion on hormone testing, specifically testing hormone levels as part of prescribing
1:54.1	menopause care. And I'm going to be honest with you. This is one area that I have been really trying to wrap my mind around because I see women arguing in our social media groups and in the Facebook group all the time.
2:10.1	And some, and maybe you're one, insist that testing is the only way to get hormones right.
2:17.0	And others saying hormone testing isn't
2:19.3	necessary or worse, it's a scam. And I have dug into this an awful lot over the past
2:25.0	almost three years now that we've been doing the show. The Menopause Society guidelines
2:30.5	specifically say, and specifically, I'm going to read it here, that the use of serum,
