What Men Should Know About Women's Health with Sara Starkoff Green

Menopause talk usually gets flattened into jokes or a single symptom, and that shortcut hurts women, partners, and entire workplaces. We sit down with wellness expert Sarah Sarkoff Green to get specific about what perimenopause and menopause can actually look like, why so many Gen X women feel blindsided, and how better education changes everything from empathy at home to culture at work. Sarah also shares the mission behind her podcast, The Menopause Playbook, built around a simple but overdue idea: men cannot be left out of the conversation if we want real support. We dig into how years of misinformation around hormone replacement therapy shaped fear and confusion, and why the way we communicate matters as much as the facts. From respectful humor that lowers defenses to mental health and relationship guidance that helps couples translate symptoms into understanding, the throughline is practical compassion. We also talk candidly about midlife relationship strain and why so many women hit a threshold, then explore Sarah’s grounding lens: communication, coaching, and the right experts can be a bridge during a transition instead of a breaking point. Then we zoom out to the bigger wellness framework: health span over longevity. We connect daily movement, nervous system regulation, and neuroplasticity to what it means to live strong and clear for decades, not just longer. We also pull lessons from the blue zones and the power of community, especially as AI and modern life push people toward isolation.
