You’ve been told “there’s not enough research.” But is that really true?

In this solo episode, I’m sharing raw, honest reflections fresh from the National Menopause Show in Toronto — one of Canada’s biggest consumer health events dedicated to midlife women. After speaking with hundreds of women, answering live questions, and absorbing what other presenters shared, I’ve come back with strong opinions and a mission to clear up the confusion.

It’s time to shift from fear and frustration to facts and forward motion. From bioidentical hormones to hysterectomies, visceral fat to conflicting advice — we’re breaking down what’s actually backed by research, and how to advocate for the personalized care you deserve.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The biggest myth still holding women back from informed healthcare decisions

• Why saying “there’s no research” is keeping us stuck — and what the data actually shows

  What bioidentical hormones are (and what they’re not) — explained in plain language

  How hysterectomies impact your hormones, pelvic health, and what support you really need post-op

• The science behind visceral fat, weight gain, and why “eat less, move more” doesn’t cut it

• Why you don’t need to do everything at once — just two targeted changes can transform your health

• How to know if your provider is truly informed about menopause care (and what questions to ask)
  

This episode is for you if…

• You feel confused by conflicting hormone advice and want the facts, not fear

• You’ve had (or are preparing for) a hysterectomy and want to feel supported, not sidelined

• You’re overwhelmed by midlife weight changes and wondering what’s actually in your control

• You want to stop relying on Dr. Google and start making confident, research-informed decisions

• You’re craving real, unfiltered conversation about what it means to be a woman navigating midlife health
