This week, we’ve got a bonus episode for you - an episode from Dr. Kelly Casperson's podcast You Are Not Broken: Episode 259: Lancet Menopause Article Rebuttal - the Menoposse. 

Dr. Casperson and a panel of menopause expert physicians and nurse practitioners discuss the recent four-part article series on menopause published in The Lancet.

In the episode, Dr. Casperson and her guests address the agenda behind these articles and the implications for menopause care. The panel strongly disagrees with the claim that menopause is being over-medicalized and emphasizes the importance of hormone therapy in managing menopausal symptoms and preventing long-term health issues. They also criticize the suggestion that cognitive behavioral therapy should be the first-line treatment for menopause symptoms, highlighting the barriers to access and the lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness. The panel advocates for a comprehensive and individualized approach to menopause care. The conversation methodically identifies the principal themes discussed in the Lancet article on menopause.
