EP457: This week, Renee chats with Jo Mathisen, a producer behind the groundbreaking documentary The M Factor, which explores the very misunderstood and almost taboo topic of menopause. The conversation touches on everything from personal experiences with difficult symptoms to the creation of the film itself to the self-advocacy work that Jo stresses every woman should be doing. Jo also talks about the eye-popping revelation that through her own journey, she was repeatedly misdiagnosed and under-cared for, as there was a severe lack of knowledge and understanding in the medical establishment about this significant phase in women’s lives. As a result, one of the film’s key goals is to normalize menopause, raise awareness, and advocate for better education, both for women and medical professionals. Tune in for an enlightening and important conversation about women’s health!
