    How To Support Women In Menopause | MMP Ep. 94

    How To Support Women In Menopause | MMP Ep. 94

    Menopause needs to be taken more seriously. Period.

    I see so many women that get their concerns brushed off as “no big deal” just because they don’t feel like themselves and want to lose weight.

    And they get told the same advice over and over despite it not working: “eat less move more”

    And quite frankly - all of that pisses me off.

    If it is a big deal to them then it should be a big deal to you.

    This is what is leaving women feeling alone, vulnerable and desperate.

    And the people who should be supporting them and helping them are quite frankly just contributing to the problem.

    So ladies - this one's for you. To share with other women who feel alone. To share with those who need to hear it. Let’s advocate!

One of the best podcasts about menopause

I have been binge listening to this show since discovering it last week. I’ve finally realized that I’m entering menopause and I’m struggling hard with weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes and emotional regulation. I love this podcast!

Machelle2017 ,

Best, Most Comprehensive l

I am in perimenopause. I am also someone who has generally took pretty good care of a body that has fully revolted against me, lol! I’ve searched podcasts, audiobooks, websites, friends looking for information on how this all works and what can I do to stop gaining weight, feel my best, and live a happy life in this body during this time of drastic change. This podcast is hands down the best most comprehensive resource for me. I’ve gather little snippets of information in my search and when I found this podcast, all that information is here PLUS more presented in an understandable, relatable way! Thank you! I highly recommend this as a first resource for anyone trying to find their way through menopause.

hello its RJ ,

Menopausal Answer Depot, subscribe & listen

Thank you! Finally someone who gets me! After listening first 10min I was so relieved, my cortisol level literally dropped! You had all the answers to what I'm experiencing. I'm so prepared for my next doctors appointment.Recently I've had basic blood tests with some abnormalities, with a prescription to make lifestyle changes (what? more?) I'm BRCA1 positive, prophylactic mastectomy, hysterectomy by age 43. I've never had a physician thoroughly discuss the effects of menopause, aside from hot flashes, some skin and weight changes and low libido. (Seriously my Mom could have told me that, and she did). Now at 49 my body is always fluctuating and I feel its affecting my mental health. It's exhausting trying to find the answers to what's happening to your menopausal body and what works for you. Its especially exhausting when doctors limit themselves with menopausal treatments and research. Finding your voice lifted me up. So happy I found and shared your podcast with my sisters who are experiencing this as well. God bless.
