Marriage and Menopause Episode 17: The Medical System Failed Women in Perimenopause

Women in perimenopause are losing bone density, cardiovascular protection, and brain function right now. And most of them still don't know why.

In this episode Judy and David tell the truth about what the medical system got wrong and never corrected. In 2002 one study scared an entire generation of doctors away from prescribing estrogen. That study has been largely debunked. Doctors are still leading with the same fear in 2026.

Judy had two frozen shoulder surgeries. Trigger thumb surgery. Years of pain. All of it connected to estrogen loss. Nobody connected those dots for her. She blamed herself.

Women over 40 across this country are doing the same thing right now. There is a nationwide shortage of estrogen patches while erectile dysfunction medication sits fully stocked on every pharmacy shelf.

Women in perimenopause are one of the biggest spending demographics in the country and the system still can't be bothered to meet the demand.

This episode is for women in perimenopause who want to understand what happened to their bodies. It's for the husbands who watched their wives suffer through something they couldn't explain and want to finally understand why.

And it's for every man who wants to be the variable that changes his wife's outcome. BE THAT MAN!!!
