Guest: Dr. Stephanie Faubion, Director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Women’s Health & Medical Director of The Menopause Society
Part One: Menopause Myths & Medicine
Menopause has gone viral — but not always for the right reasons. From claims that a woman’s brain “eats itself” in menopause to this week’s breaking FDA news about estrogen therapy, it’s harder than ever to know what’s true.
In this first half of the episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Stephanie Faubion, one of the world’s leading voices in women’s health, to cut through the confusion with evidence, empathy, and straight talk.
Together, they unpack:
The latest FDA decision and what it means for hormone therapy and women’s health
Whether estrogen can protect against heart disease or stroke
The state of research and funding in women’s health and menopause
AI and Menopause Care: helpful or hurtful?
How to discern who you should — and shouldn’t — trust for menopause information online
