Summary

The good news: we are finally talking about menopause! The not so good news: we still have a long way to go, especially in the realm of research, says this week’s guest Dr. Stephanie Faubion, who is on the tip of the spear leading the way forward as the Medical Director of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS). When it comes to dealing with menopause openly in our culture, especially in the workplace, Dr. Faubion believes we are where we were with pregnancy 30 years ago. And she has some ideas on how we can all help accelerate progress and bring our doctors and culture up to speed.

Along with her role as Medical Director of NAMS, Dr. Faubion is Professor and Chair of the Department of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and Director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Women’s Health. Her expertise is in women’s health, clinical research, education, and clinical practice. You can learn more about her and her work at mayo.edu.

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.
0:30.4	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:33.0	As you are hearing my voice, I am down in Atlanta, Georgia at the North American Menopause Society's
0:38.7	annual meeting, soaking in four days of scientific sessions and meeting some of the brightest
0:44.4	minds of menopause. So I am sure to have plenty to share with you when I return.
0:49.4	Speaking of the North American Menopause Society, or NAMS for short, my guest this week is none other
0:55.2	than the medical director of NAMS, Dr. Stephanie Thalbium, who is generous enough to share her time,

1:29.8	We talked all about the current state of menopausal care and research, as well as what she's
1:35.1	most excited about presently and for the future. We also talk about how far we still have to
1:41.1	go when it comes to female representation, especially in research. This comes up a lot
1:47.5	on the show, and it's one of those topics that I really thought I understood when I started this.
1:52.6	You know, women have not been represented in research. We know that. But the more of these
1:57.6	conversations that I have and the more I hear what experts like Dr. Fabian have to say, the more of these conversations that I have and the more I hear what experts like Dr. Falbihan
