I\u2019m 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;nbsp;book&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 \u2013 and this one is just as spirited. Tania brings such clarity, compassion and common sense to the menopause conversation. I can\u2019t wait for you to hear this episode \u2013 it\u2019s 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 \u201cmenopause awareness\u201d campaigns -How the pharmaceutical and wellness industries are profiting from women\u2019s insecurities -What\u2019s missing from the current menopause conversation \u2013 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 \u201cmenopause revolutions\u201d -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!
