Description

What if everything you know about menopause is wrong? Former TV journalist Tamsen Fadal joins me on the Habits and Hustle podcast to share how a live television hot flash changed her life and sparked a global conversation about the menopause transition that affects 1 billion women worldwide. We discuss the surprising 100+ symptoms of menopause and why doctors aren't educated about this life stage. We also dive into dating and marriage during menopause, the workplace challenges women face, and why strength training beats cardio for women over 40. Tamsen Fadal is the New York Times bestselling author of "How to Menopause." After experiencing a severe hot flash on live television in 2019, she left her 30-year journalism career to educate women about perimenopause and menopause. Her documentary has been seen in 450+ cities across 40+ countries, and she's become one of the leading voices in women's midlife health.
