In a world where women are barraged with information when it comes to how best to manage menopause, it can be overwhelming and confusing. Between having their symptoms dismissed by their regular physician, and then being overwhelmed with information on social media, it’s hard to know what’s fact and hype.  And what do you do when the doctor you trust, tells you that the social media expert you also trust is wrong?

In this episode, I chat with Tamsen Fadal, a menopause advocate who has made it her mission to help perimenopausal and menopausal women navigate through the information and disinformation to get the correct information when it comes to maximizing their health.
