Ricki is rocking her grey hair and embracing the changes in her body, like entering perimenopause. So let’s talk about it! Journalist Tamsen Fadal is among a powerful group of women demanding that the mainstream medical community takes menopause more seriously with new studies and treatments. Ricki and Tamsen discuss hormone therapy, hot flashes, libido, and how to enter this stage of your life with curiosity and vigor rather than dread.
