Episode 4

About

Julia talks about a man who pulled over to tell her she looked good and what that meant to her - nice, but a little strange! Especially now, weeks later, with all the news.
Bible Study: chapter 10 - Brain Health - Sarah was very interested in the part of the chapter about sleeping, because who doesn’t want more and better sleep? Dr. Northrup talks about the “Gerbil Wheel” effect and a trick to stop worrying at night: write your worries down and think about them later - Sarah tried it and it worked! Julia, the lucky one, has always been a good sleeper!
- Can Estrogen therapy help put off dementia?
- Depression is not an issue for us personally, which we are grateful for, but what’s underneath the murderous rage?
- Finding the the joy in life and get over yourself!
- Memory issues - menopause can affect memory and it may not be signs of dementia - your brain can become more sophisticated as you age! And keep your brain sharp by learning new things!
- We want to ban the words: SENIOR MOMENT
- Mentioned the book: “Simple art of not giving a fuck” because menopause can be a time when all the unnecessary stuff falls away.

Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 6

We’re calling it done. This is our last episode of the podcast (at least until Sarah finally starts going through Menopause herself and can add anything new…) We’ve had laughs, we’ve read a lot of great books, we’ve learned a lot, we’ve interviewed smart, interesting women – and we’re both moving on to other projects. […]
Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 5

Author Susan P. Mattern’s book is subtitled “The Science, History and Meaning of Menopause,” so you know we had to read it! It’s filled with fascinating concepts: about Menopause as an adaptation by Homo Sapiens to help keep our species thriving, and about the idea that Menopause is a Cultural Syndrome, only having been named […]
Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 4

Sometimes science decides to look at things we think are common sense and quantify them. OK, fine, science, have a good time. We could have already told you that having people in your life with whom you can talk about Menopause would be a good thing – both online and in person. And now you […]
Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 3

This episode was inspired by an article we found on NextAvenue.org, which asks whether the stigma regarding talking about Menopause is lessening. Has it gone mainstream, they wonder, because Gywneth Paltrow talked about her own perimenopause, and Grace & Frankie had a sex-toys-for-older-ladies storyline? We say: Not yet it hasn’t. BUT there are good signs […]
Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 2

In big news for the Menopause community, there’s a study published in the Lancet showing an increased risk of Breast Cancer from taking HRT. Could be double the risk previously thought.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 10

Today we dive in to skincare and hair care for the midlife woman. Turns out some of what we all experience – the wrinkles, the crepey skin, the spots – that’s just a product of aging, not due to menopause. Not much comfort, really, but oh well! What can we do? Turns out there are […]

We’re talking about […]
Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 3

Menopause is an excellent time to take stock of your overall health, especially your heart and brain. Heart Disease is the number one killer of women. That fact made us pay attention! And many of us experience Menofog – or even just a feeling of losing our mental acuity as we get to a certain […]
Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 2

Hormone Replacement Therapy gets a bad rap, but really, you have to do your own research. Turns out it’s really great for some people and not recommended for others. Menopause means your body isn’t making Estrogen anymore, but guess what? Estrogen has been doing good work inside our bodies for years, and when it goes […]
