If you've been suffering through the joys of perimenopause and menopause, this episode is for you. And even if you’re not there yet–it’s coming. We're going to give you all the juicy details about how we've been misled about menopause — and boy, have we been misled.

We had a hilarious and informative conversation with Monica Molenaar, co-founder of Alloy — assuming you find tales of incontinence as amusing as we do. What we learned is that hormone replacement therapy can actually alleviate the long list of symptoms plaguing women during menopause and perimenopause, but for reasons that will be revealed, we've been told otherwise for the past few decades. Luckily, Monica is a wealth of information and she's here to set the record straight. And you don't have to wait until menopause–actually you SHOULDN’T wait. You can start treating your symptoms right now. Whether you're in the midst of menopause, perimenopause, or just curious about WTF is going on with your hormones, this episode is definitely worth a listen.
