Thriving Not Just Surviving: Tamsen Fadal

How wrong was the Women’s Health Initiative study? What is
hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? How can we be advocates for
our own health? How can we build our confidence? How did Tamsen
know that she was in menopause and what did she do? Why is it
more important than ever to have the conversation about
menopause?

Tamsen Fadal, storyteller, newscaster, entrepreneur, menopause
advocate, and champion for women in their prime, joins us for the
third time on the podcast to discuss her upcoming documentary
It’s Not Me, It’s Menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT),
how to thrive during menopause, how menopause “categorized” her,
and more. 


“I want to teach women how to ask questions. If they don’t feel
comfortable with the answers, move on to somebody else and keep
going after it because they’re not crazy and they need to feel
like they’re heard.” 


“I do believe that if you’re doing things that feel right for you
and make you feel good, then you have that confidence.” 


“For my first two years [of menopause], it was about just
surviving, trying to feel normal again, healthy again, sexy
again.” 


“There’s a lot of mental health things that come with menopause.
It’s not just one of the symptoms; it really changes a lot about
that part of your life.” 


“I had a lot of very dark moments but I didn’t know that was
perimenopause; that wasn’t even a word that I was aware
of.” 


“You’re never too old to have fun.”
