You’re told it’s all in your head. That you’re too young. That it’s just stress. But what if the real reason you feel off is something no one’s talking about? This week, Tamsen sits down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN and breast cancer survivor, for a conversation about early menopause, hormone therapy, and why women who need answers the most are often dismissed the fastest. As someone who’s personally gone through menopause three times (medically, chemically, and surgically) Dr. Menn knows firsthand what women are up against when it comes to their health. And she’s on a mission to challenge the medical gaslighting so many women face when they hit midlife and don’t feel like themselves anymore. In this episode, they uncover: -The difference between perimenopause, premature menopause, and early menopause -Why 1 in 8 women lose ovarian function early and what that means for long-term health -How autoimmune disease, endometriosis, cancer treatment, and hysterectomy can trigger early menopause -What your doctor probably isn’t telling you about hormone therapy even if you’ve had breast cancer -The truth about castration in women and why that term matters -How Dr. Menn’s own story is helping other women feel seen and heard Loving The Tamsen Show podcast?
