⚡️Episode 41: SUPERCHARGING COMMUNITY CARE & HORMONAL ACTIVISM IN PERI/MENOPAUSE with Kim Stegeman ⚡️

⚡️This week on the pod we hip check the patriarchy and get a fierce peri/meno pep talk from Kim Stegeman aka Rocketmean, founder of Rose City Rollers and author of The Menopause Unicorn!"🦄💥

Kim takes us into her mis/adventures with perimenopause, hormone replacement therapy, and the radical power she discovered speaking openly about midlife health with her community. ❤️‍🔥🤘

We get into the long-term damage caused by the misinformation around HRT and the fallout from the Women’s Health Initiative study, the social and political side of menopause care, the need for advocacy, community, access, and better education, how menopause symptoms can shift over time and require dosage adjustments, the importance of finding a menopause specialist or educated provider, the next level MAGIC of Vaginal estrogen, how diet, protein, fiber, and alcohol reduction can lessen symptoms, how roller derby culture mirrors menopause activism, why Gen X is gonna rip the conversation around HRT wide open, how ANDROPAUSE may be very real for men, testosterone should be made more available to ALL humans and SO MUCH MORE!
