Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert

What the Hell Is Menopause?: On Aging, Hormones, and Chutzpah with Lauren Tetenbaum

Eva Heyman & Caroline Leventhal Episode 31

Eva and Caroline sit down with therapist, lawyer, and author Lauren Tetenbaum, whose new book Millennial Menopause shines a light on one of life’s biggest transitions that no one seems to talk about: menopause. 

Rather than feeling down about aging, Lauren offers practical advice and real solutions to help women feel better—and yes, sexier—as we trade tampons for hormone therapy. From “meno-bellies” and brain fog to SSRIs and HRT, Lauren keeps it real about what’s happening to our bodies and minds. As she puts it, “My collagen is waning, but my chutzpah grows.” Whether you’re already in menopause, trying to get pregnant, or just curious about what’s ahead, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and maybe even a little excited about aging.
