  <title>190 MENOPAUSE MATTERS: Dismantling menopause hype | Tania Elfersy</title>
  <description>Want to rethink everything you thought you knew about menopause? I’m thrilled to welcome back Tania Elfersy, someone I really admire and a woman with a truly refreshing take on this stage of life. This is a conversation between two women who care deeply about the state of the menoverse today! I first came across Tania while writing my&amp;amp;nbsp;book&amp;amp;nbsp;and was immediately struck by her wisdom and insight. The last time she joined me on the podcast, our conversation about menopause was very feisty – and this one is just as spirited. Tania brings such clarity, compassion and common sense to the menopause conversation. I can’t wait for you to hear this episode – it’s sure to challenge, inspire and maybe even transform how you think about current menopause narratives. We talk about: -How fear-based menopause marketing took root in the UK and spread globally -Why so much hormone therapy research is being misunderstood, misrepresented, and selectively used -The real impact of celebrity endorsements and influencer-led “menopause awareness” campaigns -How the pharmaceutical and wellness industries are profiting from women’s insecurities -What’s missing from the current menopause conversation – and why context matters -How women are being encouraged to medicalize a natural transition -The dangers of cherry-picked data and the confusion between relative and absolute risk -The quiet manipulation happening behind so-called “menopause revolutions” -Why women deserve full, unbiased information before making health decisions -How to separate fact from marketing spin in an age of social media misinformation -Why questioning, staying curious, and trusting your intuition are radical acts of self-care And more!
