Menopause, Feminism, Box Sets and More with Dr. Jen Gunter

When I first started experiencing hot flashes, I went to Facebook, as one does, to ask my hive what they did to manage their symptoms. I received over 100 comments, and the most obvious consensus was there was no consensus. In fact the more I tried to understand menopause, the more confusing it became. Should I take hormones? Would they cause cancer? Was I developing early onset Alzheimers or was putting the milk in the cupboard normal? How long was this going to last? I called my family doctor to discuss, and she recommended I read The Menopause Manifesto. Game changer. As with most things in life there is power that comes with knowledge, especially when it comes to our health. Dr. Jen Gunter has become the defacto leader of feminists everywhere tired of medical misogyny and joined me to discuss everything from why feminism is such an integral part of the menopause conversation, the latest on hormones, and even a bit of a trip down memory lane.
