Thriving Not Just Surviving: Tamsen Fadal

How wrong was the Women’s Health Initiative study? What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? How can we be advocates for our own health? How can we build our confidence?

If they don’t feel comfortable with the answers, move on to somebody else and keep going after it because they’re not crazy and they need to feel like they’re heard.” “I do believe that if you’re doing things that feel right for you and make you feel good, then you have that confidence.” “For my first two years [of menopause], it was about just surviving, trying to feel normal again, healthy again, sexy again.” “There’s a lot of mental health things that come with menopause. It’s not just one of the symptoms; it really changes a lot about that part of your life.” “I had a lot of very dark moments but I didn’t know that was perimenopause; that wasn’t even a word that I was aware of.” “You’re never too old to have fun.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Connect with Tamsen:WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebookLinkedinPodcastSay hi to the AGEIST team!
