Matt Hyams: When Perimenopause Goes Viral

Perimenopause is finally being talked about—but not always with humor.In this episode, I sit down with comedian and content creator Matt Hyams, whose viral videos impersonating his perimenopausal wife have struck a nerve with millions of women (and quite a few men). What started as a single Instagram video quickly became a cultural moment, with women flooding the comments saying, “I am her.”So what is it about these videos that resonates so deeply?Is it the humor? The validation? Or the rare glimpse into how partners experience the hormonal shifts of midlife?In this conversation, we explore what happens when comedy meets a topic that, until recently, was barely discussed at all—and why laughter might actually be one of the most powerful tools we have in navigating this phase of life.Instagram / TikTok / YouTube / Facebook: @MattHyamsWebsite: matthyams.comEnjoy 15% off Dr. Erickson's recommended peri/menopause skincare with code PAUSE15Instagram: @theskinpause & @drcorinneericksonWebsite: theskinpause.com
