Lo walks through Brooklyn with Emmy-winning journalist and menopause advocate Tamsen Fadal, who opens up about her own surprising journey through perimenopause — from panic attacks on live TV to being dismissed by doctors. Together, they unpack the gaps in women’s health education and what it really takes to advocate for yourself in a system that often leaves you guessing.

Tamsen and Lo dive into the symptoms no one talks about (hello night sweats and brain fog), hormone testing, what’s really happening to your libido, and why there’s no “one size fits all” approach to aging. This episode is essential listening for any woman wondering what’s going on with her body — and why no one prepared her for it.

Key Takeaways:

1. Why doctors aren’t taught menopause in med school — and why that matters

2. The signs of perimenopause and what bloodwork really reveals

3. What hormone therapy can help with — and when it’s not the right move

4. Why women are rewriting the rules on aging, sex, and self-care

5. How to prepare for doctor’s visits and advocate for your body
