Menopodcast Season 2 Episode 1

Menopodcast – Menopause For The 21st Century

November 13, 2018 ∙ 23 mins

About

“Too old for snapchat, too young for life alert.”

Welcome to Season Two! Recap of the Season One shocker ending, but wait - is Sarah actually in Menopause now?? Let's find out!

Preview of the new season - we’re having guests! And we picked a new bible - The Silent Passage by Gail Sheehy.

Do some chit chat to catch up - Julia is feeling good, still on HRT, no hot flashes.

Since it was recorded in February 2018, we talked about new year goals and goal-setting. Weight loss is always on our lists, and we commiserate about our tall, thin husbands who do not have weight issues and can eat ANYTHING.

Sarah mentions that she has had a baby tooth until she was past 50, something Julia didn’t know, which proves that we can often imagine that our physical flaws loom larger to others - and in reality others don’t even notice.

More chit chat about food - does everything really taste like chicken?

Acknowledge that we have kids at home - which makes our menopause different than our any generation before.

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 […]
Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 9

“Use it or lose it” applies to so many parts of our bodies as we age. And midlife/menopause is a great time to take stock and get moving – in whatever way works for you. Dr. Northrup said, “You need to know that vigorous regular exercise is an absolute necessity if you intend to live […]

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 […]
