    HORMONALLY RADICALIZED & READY TO RUMBLE with Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan, Menopause Specialist
    Nov 7 2025
    Peri/menopause with a side of punk. Filmmaker Alicia J. Rose teams up with Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan to rip the hush-hush label off menopause and perimenopause — the wild hormonal ride that half the population endures but few discuss honestly. Aoife shares how her own hormonal crash turned her from a by-the-book doctor into a passionate women’s health advocate. Together, she and Alicia call out medical gaslighting, untangle the fallout from the Women’s Health Initiative, and torch the fear-mongering myths around hormone therapy. They also take on the cultural cringe around aging, the patriarchy baked into modern medicine, and the rise of Menopunks— a rebellious movement urging women to reclaim their health, their voices, and their power. Funny, frank, and fiercely human, this conversation isn’t just about hormones — it’s about starting a revolution. Menopunks Dr. Aoife O’Sullivan The Dusty Muffins Podcast
