Every Woman Should Know This About Early Menopause

Video Description

🧡 My New York Times bestselling book How To Menopause → https://bit.ly/4loCIlp I was told it was all in my head. That I was too young. That it was just stress. But what if the real reason we feel off in midlife is something no one’s talking about? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN and breast cancer survivor, for an honest conversation about early menopause, hormone therapy, and why so many women are dismissed when they need answers most. Dr. Menn has gone through menopause three times — medically, chemically, and surgically — and she’s using her experience to challenge the medical gaslighting too many of us face. We talk about: - The difference between perimenopause, early menopause, and premature menopause - How autoimmune issues, cancer treatment, and hysterectomy can trigger early menopause - Why hormone therapy is still misunderstood, even after breast cancer - How Dr. Menn’s story is helping women feel seen, heard, and validated CONNECT WITH TAMSEN 🧡 The Tamsen Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetamsenshow 🧡 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal 🧡 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tamsenfadal CONNECT WITH DR CORINNE MENN 🧡 Visit her website: https://www.drmenn.com/ 🧡 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmennobgyn 🧡 LEAVE A REVIEW If you enjoyed listening to the podcast, we'd love for you to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts to help others discover the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-tamsen-show/id1799976761 TIMESTAMP: 0:00 Intro 1:32 What’s the Difference Between Perimenopause and Premature Menopause? 4:20 Who Is Most at Risk for Early or Premature Menopause? 6:32 What Is the Pink Elephant of Menopause and Why It Matters 9:25 What Every Woman in Her 30s Needs to Know About Early Menopause 11:09 How Does Endometriosis Affect Menopause? 13:51 Why Women With PCOS Are Dismissed For Perimenopause 16:50 What To Do About The Birth Control Pill During Perimenopause 19:15 Premature Menopause And Your Cardiovascular Health 23:19 99.9% Of Women Can Use Vaginal Estrogen 31:20 Why You Need To Think About Osteoporosis Earlier Than You May Think 38:37 Dr. Corinne Menn’s Personal Story: Breast Cancer, Fertility, and Three Menopauses 46:12 Hormone Therapy After Breast Cancer 52:54 BRCA Gene Testing 57:55 Are You A Weird Barbie?
