Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 6

November 13, 2019 05:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

We’re calling it done. This is our last episode of the podcast (at least until Sarah finally starts going through Menopause herself and can add anything new…) We’ve had laughs, we’ve read a lot of great books, we’ve learned a lot, we’ve interviewed smart, interesting women - and we’re both moving on to other projects. We appreciate all of you who’ve listened and we hope you all have the BEST possible Menopause - and beyond! Good Menopause To You!

Author Susan P. Mattern’s book is subtitled “The Science, History and Meaning of Menopause,” so you know we had to read it! It’s filled with fascinating concepts: about Menopause as an adaptation by Homo Sapiens to help keep our species thriving, and about the idea that Menopause is a Cultural Syndrome, only having been named by Western Doctors and scientists in the 1700s. Ultimately, we found the book a challenge to read - as laypeople, if you will. But cool ideas!

Sometimes science decides to look at things we think are common sense and quantify them. OK, fine, science, have a good time. We could have already told you that having people in your life with whom you can talk about Menopause would be a good thing - both online and in person. And now you get it, too. What we didn’t already know was that it looks like it’ll help keep Dementia at bay, so that’s a bonus. We read two articles that kicked off this show - we’ll post the links on Facebook.

Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 3

October 21, 2019 20:07 - 24 minutes - 22.6 MB

This episode was inspired by an article we found on NextAvenue.org, which asks whether the stigma regarding talking about Menopause is lessening. Has it gone mainstream, they wonder, because Gywneth Paltrow talked about her own perimenopause, and Grace & Frankie had a sex-toys-for-older-ladies storyline? We say: Not yet it hasn’t. BUT there are good signs it could happen in our lifetime! The Brits seem to be leading the way (again) in this, and we thank them. Millennials, it’s up to you! h...

In big news for the Menopause community, there’s a study published in the Lancet showing an increased risk of Breast Cancer from taking HRT. Could be double the risk previously thought. So, as always, it’s important to check with your medical professional to assess your personal risk. Plus it turns out the UK is experiencing a shortage of HRT! We asked our UK friend Rachel Lankester from Magnificent Midlife to give us her perspective.

Menopodcast Season 6 Episode 1

October 08, 2019 23:41 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MB

We open up our first episode back after our hiatus by catching up with each other: Sarah’s still growing out her grays - and Julia reveals a big secret! (Listen to find out what!) Then we discuss an article we saw in the Guardian. Turns out in the UK, they’re trying to enact legislation to protect menopausal women in the workplace. What a concept! We love it, but we wanted to hear from our friend in the UK Rachel Lankester from Magnificent Midlife, so she sent us audio.    https://www.t...

July 24, 2019 18:03 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MB

What a season! It was the season of Deep Dives into the topics that every woman in Menopause wants to know about: Hot Flashes, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Skincare, Heart & Brain Health, Nutrition and exercise, and of course: lady parts.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 10

July 17, 2019 16:00 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MB

Today we dive in to skincare and hair care for the midlife woman. Turns out some of what we all experience - the wrinkles, the crepey skin, the spots - that’s just a product of aging, not due to menopause. Not much comfort, really, but oh well! What can we do? Turns out there are treatments that range from cheap and easy to expensive and complicated. From over the counter to prescription-level treatments, pick whatever works for you and your budget! Check out our faves at Menopodcast.com.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 7

June 26, 2019 13:00 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MB

Our guest this episode is Ashley Koff RD, an award-winning nutrition expert with over twenty years experience, and creator of The Better Nutrition Program. We asked her for some nutrition tips for us Menopausal women, as well as just some better nutrition tips for eating as we age. We wanted to know what top three changes we should make to our diets right now, how to combat midlife weight gain, what are the best supplements to take in midlife, and just what can we eat?

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 6

June 18, 2019 15:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MB

Our guest this episode is Darcey Steinke, author of several books, including the just-released “Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life.” We talk with her about the things she learned while writing the book, including the fact that only a handful of animals go through menopause besides us - and one of them is killer whales, which we find fascinating! Steinke says, “I knew so much more going into both menstruation and pregnancy than I did going into menopause.” Ditto!

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 5

June 12, 2019 21:35 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MB

“Use it or lose it” applies to so many parts of our bodies as we age. And midlife/menopause is a great time to take stock and get moving - in whatever way works for you. Dr. Northrup said, “You need to know that vigorous regular exercise is an absolute necessity if you intend to live well beyond midlife.” We talk about all of that PLUS we interview Sarah Glicken, owner of OsteoStrong in Los Angeles, about that modality and how it has helped strengthen bones and muscles.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 4

June 05, 2019 19:12 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

This episode talks about Lady Parts. The parts of a human body you only find on us ladies: the pelvic region, like the uterus, the ovaries, the vagina, the urethra (and yes, we know that men have urethras, too, but they are totally different), the Breasts, and our Sexual function and Sexuality. We’re talking about ways of keeping them healthy as you go through menopause. And YES, we will talk about Sex and Sexuality in this episode, so be warned.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 3

May 29, 2019 18:47 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MB

Menopause is an excellent time to take stock of your overall health, especially your heart and brain. Heart Disease is the number one killer of women. That fact made us pay attention! And many of us experience Menofog - or even just a feeling of losing our mental acuity as we get to a certain age. Luckily, the things that help make your heart healthier also help make your brain healthier - so you get a twofer in better health and longevity! Listen to the episode to learn more.

Menopodcast Season 5 Episode 2

May 22, 2019 18:35 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

Hormone Replacement Therapy gets a bad rap, but really, you have to do your own research. Turns out it’s really great for some people and not recommended for others. Menopause means your body isn’t making Estrogen anymore, but guess what? Estrogen has been doing good work inside our bodies for years, and when it goes away, big changes are sure to follow. In this episode, we talk about what’s working for us, and why it’s important to find a physician you trust to help you navigate the choices...

May 09, 2019 01:00 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MB

Deep Dive into Hot Flashes! Hot Flashes are like the stereotypical punchline of Menopause, and while they are not life-threatening, they are still very disruptive - and can negatively impact your quality of life. In this episode, we talk about what they are, why they happen to us, and what you can TRY to do about them. We quote from a couple of our favorite books on the subject - and let you know what works for us. As always, consult your own medical professional before trying anything we ...

We’re launching a new season and giving you a preview of what’s to come. This time, instead of reading a book for a whole season and discussing a chapter per episode, we’re going to zero in on one of the topics we’ve learned about so far in our journey, and each episode will be a deep dive into that particular subject. We’ll roll up our sleeves and talk about things like: Hot Flashes, Heart Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Diet & Fitness, Sex, Reinventing Your Life in Midlife, and many m...

Menopodcast Season 4 Episode 12

April 11, 2019 01:15 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

Today was a Q&A from our listeners to end Season 4. Great questions to discuss.  Do all women go through menopause? How long will menopause last and what is this whole menopause thing anyway? Shouldn’t I be afraid of HRT? How do you know if your health issues are menopause-related? Seriously, no wine? Or COFFEE? What supplements do you take? How have you changed your diet? Listen in as we also broadcast live on Facebook and talk about the issues via listener comments. We'll...

April 03, 2019 18:36 - 27 minutes - 25 MB

This episode marks the final chapter of “What Would Virginia Woolf Do?” (Affiliate link) by Nina Lorez Collins – and Sarah and Julia are very sad the book is done. It’s such a good read! We love the author’s style and voice – and have appreciated her honesty and willingness to share personal details from the beginning. Highly Recommend. We also want to recommend the Facebook Group of the same name that Nina created even before she wrote the book. It’s a safe place to share and there’s an a...

This episode is an interview with Anne Kreamer, author of “Going Gray: What I Learned about Beauty, Sex, Work, Motherhood, Authenticity, and Everything Else that Really Matters" (Affiliate link). And we loved speaking with her! She has a new, mission-driven company called WildAndRare.com and we totally recommend checking it out, too! The book is great because, first of all, Ms. Kreamer is a terrific writer, and secondly, because she really takes the time to look at what gray hair means t...

March 20, 2019 19:35 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MB

This week Sarah and Julia read chapter 8 of “What Would Virginia Woolf Do?” by Nina Lorez Collins – and this chapter is entitled “Work and Money”. This chapter is filled with many, many fears about getting older and not having enough money. Sure, we may also worry about health problems, but how much they will cost to care for and where will the money come from? We hear from our friends who feel they can’t let their hair go gray because they have to get work and compete against younger wo...

March 13, 2019 20:24 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MB

This week Sarah and Julia read chapter 7 of “What Would Virginia Woolf Do?” (Affiliate link) by Nina Lorez Collins – and this chapter is entitled “Health”. The author runs down an entire laundry list of health problems that affect women of a certain age. And while it’s not always super fun to think about these problems, it’s much better to be prepared and take action than to ignore them until they get worse. These are also not all related to or due to menopause. Some are just because we’...

March 06, 2019 21:58 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MB

This week Sarah and Julia read chapter 6 of “What Would Virginia Woolf Do?” by Nina Lorez Collins – and this chapter is entitled “Emotions”. We are continuing to love this book and Nina’s writing. Seriously – we highly recommend this book! Chapter 6 is all about the emotions we go through as women in midlife and what we can do about them. Because for some of us, acknowledging that we’re having these emotions is already a big step, and then figuring out how and whether to act on them is a w...

This week Sarah and Julia read chapter 5 of "What Would Virginia Woolf Do?" (Affiliate link) by Nina Lorez Collins. And if you haven’t listened to our interview with her we recorded 2 weeks ago, go check that out – she is amazing! Chapter 5 is entitled Beauty, and it's all about what we see when we look in the mirror - and what we choose to do about it! Sarah and Julia would both describe themselves as Minimalists when it comes to their Beauty Regimens, in fact, they might even scoff at ...

February 21, 2019 16:02 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

This week Sarah and Julia read chapter 4 of "What Would Virginia Woolf Do?" by Nina Lorez Collins. And if you haven’t listened to our interview with her we recorded last week, go check that out – she is amazing! Chapter 4 is all about being a parent during menopause or perimenopause, possibly as an empty-nester, semi-empty-nester or with a young child (or children) at home still. We will again point out what a great writer Nina Lorez Collins is, and how much we love this book. Sarah foun...

We're thrilled to have Nina Lorez Collins as our guest on this episode of the podcast! She's the author of "What Would Virginia Woolf Do? And Other Questions I ask Myself as I Attempt to Age Without Apology." (affiliate link)   We absolutely love this book, as we've mentioned before, and you know we have chosen it as our "Bible" for Season 4. We'd finished 3 chapters by the time we talked to Nina, enough to have fallen for her writing style - hard. We were introduced to Ms. Collins and...

Menopodcast Season 4 Episode 3

February 13, 2019 23:03 - 44 minutes - 40.6 MB

This chapter is all about our changing bodies, and it’s another frank and honest bit of writing. Her book, What Would Virginia Woolf Do?(affiliate link) is our Bible for Season 4 and she is slated to be a guest on the show coming up – which we couldn’t be more thrilled about.  Ms. Collins talks about her own nutrition and exercise plans – what’s worked, what hasn’t – and she gave Sarah a real wake-up call about getting her butt in gear and blowing past the excuses to get working out again....

Menopodcast Season 4 Episode 2

February 06, 2019 21:23 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MB

This chapter is all about SEX and it's so frank an honest and open, it makes us love author Nina Lorez Collins even more that we already did! Her book, What Would Virginia Woolf Do? (affiliate link) is our Bible for Season 4 and she is slated to be a guest on the show coming up! Ms. Collins talks about her own sexual journey from pre-puberty to mature adulthood, and it's full of fascinating stories and anecdotes. We HIGHLY recommend reading it. Sarah and Julia aren't QUITE as frank and o...

We launched Season 4 in a whole new way: going Live on Facebook as well as recording the podcast - at the same time! (We had some technical difficulties - but when has that stopped us? And we think we've worked them out for next time...) This Season we're reading "What Would Virginia Woolf Do?" by Nina Lorez Collins, and we're already loving it - and her! The book can be purchased via our Amazon affiliate link - and if you do, we'll get paid a small commission, so thanks!! In the Introdu...

January 09, 2019 18:30 - 47 minutes - 43.5 MB

Good menopause to you! We recorded this episode during the holidays, so we chat about all the hullabaloo that comes with that time of year. Gifts, shipping, cleaning the house for guests, etc. So many things to do!! Julia was reminded that it really is the thought that counts when giving a gift. But Sarah bemoans all the carbs she’s been eating at holiday parties. Ugh!

January 09, 2019 18:28 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

We commiserate about not having high-tech mic stands, but somehow we record anyway. And that segues us somehow into talking about how we both love to make lists. (And then cross things off!) Julia lets Sarah know about Bullet Journaling, and she says she’s not having it, personally. It’s too much work. All leading to how Julia feels Menopause is an amazing opportunity to take stock of your life. Julia brings up the notion of Commitment vs. Interest. Sarah brings up that when you do take stoc...

January 09, 2019 18:28 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

Good Menopause to you! Sarah and Julia talk about their low-tech microphone set up and how they want to upgrade soon! We talk about Julia’s daughter’s birthday party, when Julia hired a terrific balloon guy. He made a Snow White and a Diamond Ring. And Julia’s birthday is coming up - she’s about to turn 52. 52 with a 7-year-old. And Sarah is 56 with a 16 and 19-year old. Sarah talks about how she’s engineered a simpler holiday season for herself. Doing fewer things, and more fun things than ...

January 09, 2019 18:27 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MB

Good Menopause to you! We start out chatting about the weather in Los Angeles, because weather happens so infrequently that it’s remarkable! Julia’s daughter is about to have a birthday, so she recalls her experience in the hospital and how she took advantage of the Nurse’s offer to keep her daughter in the Nursery overnight so she could get sleep. Sarah’s youngest son was a Buddha Baby when he was born, so she was able to keep him with her in the bed and watch tabloid TV while he nursed and...

January 09, 2019 18:27 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MB

We start the episode chatting about our Clarity and how it feels. It feels GOOD. Julia feels good about where she is, where she wants to go. “Clarity on the NO.” We coined a new phrase! Sarah feels clear about a few things she does NOT want to do - and what she wants to focus on. We are looking ahead to 2019 and our Menopodcast Empire - or Menopyre, if you will. We’re planning to use the 12-week Year to achieve our goals - check out the book. It’s a super-detailed system for how to get thing...

Menopodcast Season 3 Episode 4

January 09, 2019 18:26 - 44 minutes - 41 MB

We do a recap of Julia’s time away in England and quitting the job, since we may have skipped over that in recording. We talked about how Julia really came to Clarity about things there. Sarah thinks many of us are afraid of what the clarity means in terms of consequences, but that deep down we do know what we want. But we’re scared of doing it. Sure, it’s scary to make changes in our lives, but sometimes you just have to do it. We are feeling really good about the clarity, but with changes ...

Betty worked on movies like Beverly Hills Cop and TV shows like The White Shadow. Betty became a writer after having a child because she didn’t want to be on a set for 10-14 hours per day.
