Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

And as always, we're being brutally honest. We're dissecting timelines, receipts, blind items, and previous episodes. Amanda and Wes, watch out. We're not going to be easy on you.

Every single day, I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions, ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine. Just honest conversations about what it means to be alive.

Hi, Amber. Hi, Lola. Welcome to An Unlikely Affair. Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of An Unlikely Affair. I am so excited. I'm stuttering. I'm so excited. I don't even know what I'm saying. Today, we are talking to Tamsyn Fadal, who I've been obsessed with. I've been following her on Instagram. She has a wonderful book out. We're talking about perimenopause and menopause, so whether you're in it whether you're heading towards it or you love someone you know who's experiencing any of these symptoms, this conversation is for you. It is short, it is sweet, and it's super informational. And I'm excited to dive into this conversation. So let's bring her in. So I'm 37 and I swore for a very long time that I have all the symptoms, right?
Like you read the symptoms. I have an IUD, so I don't get a period, which can be a little confusing. It's hard when you do your blood tests because you don't really know where you're at in your cycle. Yeah, 100%. There's so many things that I want to start with, but I think for the listeners and the majority of our women who listen to this podcast, let's just give them like a brief, brief overview of what like perimenopause is and then the transition to menopause. Yep. Perfect. Totally, totally great. How old do you think they are? Like right around that, right around your age? Yeah, I think a lot of women now in their 30s are kind of starting to really educate themselves because amazing women like you and so many other doctors are really starting to shed the light and say, this is something that we really need to talk about.
And it doesn't need to be taboo. We need to educate ourselves so we could even be prepared in the perimenopause phase when menopause actually hit hits and like what actually leads up to that and you know I heard you say something on your social media about this is the time where women start going with like couples start getting divorced and I really really think like the more we educate not only ourselves as women but we're able to educate our husbands and then husbands are able to go out individually and educate themselves it's huge this could be saving a lot of marriages It's so huge. And it's really why we started bringing men into the conversation because we really thought that that was important because they could see the symptoms maybe even before we do or see what's going on with us.
And so our last film actually really brought men into the conversation and they wanna learn.
