PAUZ Grab Life by the Ovaries

Social Media, Menopause, and Cutting Through the SH#T

What happens when two of the most no-nonsense voices in women’s health get together?
 A refreshing, funny, and deeply honest conversation that cuts through the noise.

In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Thebe, fitness and women’s health expert and author of Menopocalypse, and Abby Langer, RD, dietitian, author of Good Food, Bad Diet, and one of nutrition’s most trusted truth-tellers.

Together, we unpack some of the biggest pet peeves in women’s health and social media—from diet culture dressed up as “wellness,” to fear-based menopause messaging, to misinformation that keeps women stuck, confused, and blaming themselves.

We also tackle the big question:
 👉 Are we actually moving the needle on women’s body image—or just repackaging old pressures in new language?

Amanda and Abby share candid perspectives on:

  • The harm of wellness trends that oversimplify complex midlife changes
  • Why strength, nourishment, and self-trust matter more than aesthetics
  • What social media gets wrong about menopause, weight, and aging
  • How women can reclaim agency over their health without chasing perfection

Expect laughter, sharp insights, and a whole lot of relief as myths are dismantled and common sense is restored.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of the noise—and ready for evidence-based, compassionate, and realistic conversations about women’s health in midlife and beyond.
