Ever felt dismissed by doctors when discussing menopause symptoms? You're not alone!

Welcome to our first episode under the freshly rebranded title, The Menopause Disruptor Podcast. In this episode, we learn why host Mary Lee change her podcast name to better fit the mission to challenge societal norms and shift outdated perceptions around menopause. It's time for a shake-up to build a culture of understanding, acceptance, and empowerment. 

In this monologue, Mary emphasizes the importance of empowering women through education and accurate information, specifically regarding hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also referred to as Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT). She delves into the controversial 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Trial, highlighting its flaws and subsequent misinterpretations that have long impacted the knowledge around the benefits versus the risks of HRT / MHT. 

Mary advocates for informed decision-making, urging listeners to actively seek current, evidence-based research to make the best health choices with their providers. This episode is a call to arms for women to reclaim control over their menopause journey and disrupt the lingering myths that continue to undermine women's health.
