Bear with me, as the title is a bit misleading. This is Mel Robbins’ interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, an OBGYN and menopause specialist. If you’re not familiar with her, I highly recommend this podcast, as well as her IG and her books. (Men are invited to listen and learn, too.)

This topic is near and dear to my heart, for obvious reasons. For way too long, women’s health has been understudied — we’re not small men and we deserve the benefit of targeted studies. In particular, menopause has been looked at as inevitable and therefore nothing to be overly concerned about.

But we’re finally learning we SHOULD be concerned about it. The loss of estrogen causes a myriad of health issues in older women. This podcast episode goes into a lot of detail about both misconceptions & realities, as well as info on HRT and other ways we can improve our health going forward.

I have a lot more to say on this subject, but for now I’ll just say that as we fight for the future of reproductive rights, I hope we’ll also start championing the rights of all women to have the best health care possible in all stages of life. (Our mothers and grandmothers deserved better.)

Also consider reading The Menopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen Gunter.
