‘Declare Yourself a Problem’: How to Get Real Menopause Care

Last episode, Imani Gandy brought a pile of menopause questions and no theory. This week, she’s taking her questions to Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, author of When in Menopause: A User’s Manual & Citizen’s Guide. Weiss-Wolf explains what to write down before an appointment, why to book a standalone visit, and what to say when your doctor dismisses your symptoms or says you watch too many videos on TikTok. They also get into why Black women often get inadequate care, why your mom and your aunts should hear what you’re learning, and why Gen X is blowing open the menopause conversation for good.
