The Psychology of Menopause | Tamsen Fadal

Tamsen Fadal was 47 and anchoring the evening news when the first hot flash hit.

She got off the set and laid down on the bathroom floor. She had never heard the word perimenopause. A few weeks later, a note landed in her patient portal with four words: “In menopause, any questions?”

Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, executive producer of the documentary The M Factor, and New York Times bestselling author of How to Menopause. She spent thirty years in television news before turning to the thing nobody had explained to her.

Tamsen and Mike get into what menopause actually is, why the symptoms are read as anxiety or depression, what changed after the 2002 hormone study, and how partners and teammates can be useful instead of awkward.

Mike talks about watching his wife go through it, and what the two of them missed.

Tamsen calls what comes next “the next 30.” Her point is that these are the years to decide what you want them to look like, and to start now.

Enjoy the conversation.
