Description

Amanda Thebe, author of the bestselling book Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too. Amanda’s journey from a personal trainer to a leading advocate for women's health in menopause.

• Amanda’s Menopause Journey: Amanda shares her struggles with perimenopause, including misdiagnoses and lack of support, which inspired her to dive into evidence-based research and create a platform for helping women navigate menopause with confidence.
• Misinformation and Advocacy: They discuss the predatory marketing practices targeting menopausal women, emphasizing the importance of seeking valid, evidence-based information and avoiding "magic pill" solutions.
• The Role of Hormone Therapy: Amanda breaks down menopause hormone therapy (MHT), debunking myths, clarifying its role, and stressing the need for individual discussions with healthcare providers. 
• Lifestyle Overhaul: Both women highlight the power of lifestyle choices—nutrition, strength training, and sleep—on reducing symptoms and improving quality of life during menopause.
• Consistency is Key: Amanda introduces her "auto-regulation" approach to exercise, encouraging women to adjust workouts based on daily energy levels, fostering consistency over intensity.
• A Positive Narrative: They conclude with a focus on reframing menopause as a natural transition rather than a period of doom and gloom, urging listeners to lean into the change and thrive.
