Episode 73 - The Menopause Maze. Why There's No Single Path Through
Send a text
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by the conflicting advice in the menopause space? You're not alone. In this powerful and essential episode, we're cutting through the noise and calling out the toxic "mean-girl" culture that has taken over the conversation online. Expert against expert, influencer against doctor—it’s time to reject the high-school drama and embrace a more inclusive, compassionate path.
We're dismantling the dangerous myth of a one-size-fits-all solution and exploring:
- The Culture Clash in Care: Why Eastern medicine’s ancient wisdom is a valid path, even if it isn't FDA-approved, and how Big Pharma influences the Western narrative.
- The Stark Reality of Cultural & Racial Disparities: We dive into the shocking data on how menopause differs for Black, Latina, Asian, and Indigenous women—from symptom duration and severity to the very meaning of this life transition.
- Why Representation is Non-Negotiable: Understanding why women of color need and deserve to see themselves in their healers and guides.
- Your Right to Choose: How to become the CEO of your own health, demand the full spectrum of options from your doctor, and find what works for YOUR unique body without shame or judgment.
If you're tired of being gaslit, brushed off, or bullied into one "right" way, this episode is your invitation to a better way. It’s a rallying cry for a menopause journey built on empowerment, evidence, and empathy—not ego.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Menopause and Medical Gaslighting
- HRT, Eastern Medicine, and All Options In-Between
- Medical Racism and Generational Trauma
- Cultural Perspectives on Menopause
- Becoming the CEO of Your Health
- Rejecting Dogma and Embracing Individuality
Listen now to find the path that’s right for YOU.
