Menopause Mastery | What Women Need to Know About Burnout and Menopause | Episode 301 with Dr. Tanya Destang-Braebrun
Welcome to Menopause Mastery! 🌿
What if you're doing everything right for your menopause health—but you still don't feel like yourself?
In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Tanya Destang-Braebrun, author of *Held and Healed*, to explore the connection between burnout, stress, midlife health, and the often-overlooked importance of rest and self-compassion.
Dr. Tanya shares her personal journey through burnout, the frustration of having symptoms that weren't easily explained by routine testing, and how her experience transformed the way she approached healing and medicine. Together, they discuss why constantly pushing through exhaustion can come at a cost, why women need better representation in health research, and how small, realistic changes can help us reconnect with our bodies.
In this discussion, you'll discover:
- Dr. Tanya's experience with burnout and her path toward healing - Why normal test results don't always explain how you feel - The importance of rest, sleep, nutrition, and exercise in moderation - The relationship between chronic stress, burnout, and the menopause journey - Why Afro-Caribbean women need greater representation in health research - How to stop treating busyness as a badge of honor - Finding joy, setting boundaries, and giving yourself grace - Dr. Tanya's advice for women navigating perimenopause and menopause
This conversation is also about something bigger than symptoms: joy. From giving yourself permission to rest to rediscovering the activities that make you feel alive, Dr. Tanya offers a compassionate reminder that you don't have to change everything at once. 🌱✨
