In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Emmy-winning journalist and women’s health advocate Tamsen Fadal to explore her mission to destigmatize menopause and empower midlife women. Through her groundbreaking documentary The M Factor, Fadal tackles decades of misinformation, highlights the urgent need for research, and sparks a much-needed shift in the public conversation around this critical life stage.

A respected newsroom veteran, Fadal shares how her own experiences and the stories of countless women led her to pivot from high-profile reporting to menopause advocacy. Her journey underscores the glaring lack of information and support for midlife health. In The M Factor, she uncovers how flawed research from 2002 created widespread fear of hormone treatments, leaving many women underserved and misinformed. By spotlighting expert voices and real-life stories, Fadal reframes menopause as a natural transition requiring understanding, not stigma.

Fadal also emphasizes the importance of including men in the conversation. Whether as partners, colleagues, or policymakers, their support is key to bridging gender gaps and challenging ageist assumptions in society and the workplace. She calls for increased research funding, equitable healthcare policies, and collective efforts to normalize menopause discussions.

Encouraging women to see midlife as a time for reinvention, Fadal offers practical tips for reducing stress, prioritizing self-care, and finding community. Her vision is clear: menopause should be treated as a normal, empowering phase of life, supported by robust solutions and open dialogue.

Join us as Tamsen Fadal inspires a new era of understanding and advocacy for women’s health.

In this episode we sat down with the founder of the revolutionary new brand that is targeting consumer needs with single use products that focus on efficacy and creating autonomy for various skin health needs.
OnélogyTM reinvents skincare products in tablet-to-gel format to deliver peak potency, minus the waste. Just add water before use, apply on the skin like any serum.
Meet MegadoseTM: a revolutionary, patent-pending, line of targeted serums that delivers a fresh daily dose of clinically-proven ingredients, suitable for all skin types. Unlike traditional liquid serums, each MegadoseTM serum comes as pre-dosed, waterless tablets meant to be rehydrated with water right before application. This new delivery system is highly shelf-stable (6+ years) and versatile — making it ideal for use at home or on-the-go.
MISSION STATEMENT Reinventing skin-health through innovative technologies and earth-oriented solutions.
FOUNDER’S BIO AND MISSION French-born founder, Roxana, developed contact dermatitis in 2019 from US versions of products she used to buy back in France. She spent a decade advertising beauty brands for a living, yet found herself lost and confused. When visiting a dermatologist didn’t make sense financially, she eventually found-out both product versions had different formulas, among other things. Not only do pre mixed products not work (the average bottled skincare loses 50% of efficacy in just 60 days) — they are also killing the planet (120B+ Packaging waste is produced yearly). To solve this, she was convinced she had to reinvent how skincare is created and experienced. In 2020, she created Onélogy with a simple mission: deliver the highest level of efficacy for all skin types — without compromise on sustainability or price.
“B.S claims, fear-tactics and lack of fact-checking within the industry did not sit right with me — from a consumer and professional perspective. More than ever, I was convinced I needed less, more efficient products that were kind to the Earth and true to their words. I founded Onélogy to write a more truthful story from beginning to end — starting by reinventing how products are created and experienced. Through evidence-based and transparent practices, we create skincare that brings confidence to those who use it, with the conviction that skin health can be delivered without fear.”
FUN FACTS All products are made in France at a Pharmaceutical lab — not private or white label cosmetic manufacturer! This means we are EU complient and follow pharma grade protocols & raw materials, on top of being vegan & cruelty-free. Oui Oui!
