Amy Alkon, investigative science author, returns to the podcast for a fascinating and frank conversation about her new book, Going Menopostal - What You (and Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause. She shares the unfiltered truth about perimenopause and menopause, exposing the shocking gaps in medical care that leave women navigating a hormonal Wild West. From debunking the "estrogen is Satan" myth to revealing why most gynecologists are clueless about menopause, Amy dives into the science of progesterone, testosterone, bone health, cancer risks, and the 3 myths of medical care. She shares practical tips—like why you should ditch calcium supplements and embrace slow-speed weightlifting—while calling out medical industry missteps, clinical habit, what kind of eggs you should be eating, and why most doctors are making decisions that are not based on scientific evidence.
