Episode 672: Midlife, Menopause, and Taking Charge with Tamsen Fadal
Manage episode 478627884 series 2793284
Hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings… sound familiar? If you’ve ever felt like menopause hijacked your body and left you wondering what the hell just happened (or concerned that it may in the years to come), you’re not alone. But as this week’s episode assures you, you’re definitely not powerless. I’m talking with Tamsen Fadal, author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before. Tamsen’s on a mission to flip the script on how we talk about menopause, less quiet suffering and more hope and empowerment.
You’ll hear us talk about what your doctor probably isn’t telling you, how to advocate for yourself in midlife, and why menopause isn’t the end, it’s a damn evolution. In fact, for me, it was the path to coming home to myself.
What You’ll Hear
- What surprised Tamsen most about women’s experiences once she started speaking up about menopause (5:17)
- A crash course on when to get tested for menopause symptoms (hint: you don’t have to wait until you’re miserable) (6:45)
- The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the myth that it causes breast cancer (10:24)
- How we can finally change the narrative around menopause (15:48)
- How partners and family members can step up or how to bring them into the conversation so they actually get it (19:22)
- The unexpected gifts that come with perimenopause and menopause (yes, there are some!) (22:09)
- Could hormones be the reason you suddenly don’t give a shit anymore in midlife? Plus, why that shift can actually be the start of real freedom (23:24)
- The connection between menopause and big life changes, relationships, careers, identity shifts, and how to know if it’s your hormones or your partner that’s the problem (29:09)
