⚡️MENOPUNKS PODCAST ⚡️

Alicia J Rose

I’m filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose, and I want to empower women with the motherf$#@!% energy to start a hormonal revolution. By 2030, one billion women will be in menopause. One. Billion. Imagine if every man’s testosterone flatlined by 50 — you think the world would stay quiet about that? Welcome to menopause: complete hormonal upheaval. And perimenopause? She’s the chaotic, b*tchy, opening act that none of us can escape. The worst part? We’re turning to a medical system that keeps spreading the lie that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer — misinformation that’s been harming women’s health since 2002. That’s why I’m making MENOPUNKS — a feature documentary and podcast about menopause, perimenopause, quality of life and the creative process. It’s time to torch the misinformation, set the record straight about HRT, and give people the tools to advocate for their bodies, their energy, and their sanity. Because women can’t do good if they don’t feel good. Because gender-affirming care is a human right. And because it’s way past time for MENOPUNKS to to start a hormonal revolution. So join me as I pull back the curtain on the filmmaking journey, swap stories with incredible musicians, artists, and menopause experts, and expose one of the biggest medical cover-ups in modern history. ⚡️LFG⚡️ GET ON THE LIST: MENOPUNKS.COM
