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 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 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

    ⚡️ Brilliant certified menopause specialist Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan MD joins Alicia to gleefully rip up an insert and get to the bottom of the bullsh*t surrounding the infamous misinformation ridden HRT Black Box Warnings that have plagued peri/meno care since the falsified results of the WHI Study f🙌cked us all in 2002. NO - Vaginal Estrogen does NOT cause probable dementia, NO - systemic estradiol does NOT cause breast cancer, NO micronized Progesterone does NOT lead to heart disease, NO - testosterone will not turn you into an MMA wrestler overnight (we wish!). The FDA admitted their devastating “Mistake” this past November along with the ACTUAL FACT that HRT is THE single most preventative therapy for women/AFAB, REDUCING risk of breast cancer for most women by over 23% and adding up to 30% to our lifespans! 😱 It’s f🤘cking bananas!!
