This is the audio from an amazing webinar I did with Alloy Health. I was so fortunate to be interviewed by their community leader, Rachel Hughes.
What I’m seeing clearly is that Gen X is leading the menopause conversation — we’re asking better questions, demanding better answers, and refusing to be dismissed.
At the same time, Millennials are shifting the focus toward prevention, not just treating disease after it shows up. That mindset matters, and it’s changing healthcare.
I talk a lot about why self-care isn’t indulgent — it’s essential if you want to thrive in midlife and beyond. That starts with education. You cannot make informed decisions about your body if no one ever taught you how hormones actually work.
Hormones are not just reactive tools — they can be preventative, supporting long-term health when used thoughtfully and appropriately. Progesterone and testosterone play real, meaningful roles in women’s health, and vaginal estrogen is both safe and incredibly effective for many women — despite how rarely it’s discussed.
We also have to talk about sex. Communication is foundational to a fulfilling sex life in midlife, and silence only benefits outdated narratives, not women.
The bottom line? You have more control over your health than you’ve been led to believe. Empowerment doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from understanding your body and advocating for yourself in a system that often won’t do it for you.
