Menopause Decoded: What's Really Happening & How To Navigate It - with Stacey Silverman Fine, MD at Maven Clinic
Menopause is a natural biological transition that over 1 billion women worldwide are experiencing or have gone through.
Yet, despite its universality, it remains widely misunderstood and rarely discussed.
Each year, 1 million women in the U.S. enter menopause, and by age 55, 80% have gone through it. Symptoms are common and can be disruptive to life at work and at home. Examples include hot flashes (80%), night sweats (70%), vaginal dryness (60%), mood changes (50%), and sleep disturbances (40%).
But menopause isn’t just a health issue —it’s a workplace and societal issue. 1 in 4 women consider leaving their jobs due to symptoms, and many report stalled career progression or missed opportunities because of unmanaged health challenges. A lack of menopause support in the workplace contributes to gender inequality, as women at the peak of their careers face increasing barriers to leadership and personal economic stability.
In this episode, we break down what menopause is, why it happens, what to expect, and—most importantly—what can help.
Joining us is Dr. Stacey Silverman Fine, OB-GYN at Maven Clinic, who explains the science, debunks common myths, and shares practical strategies to help women and allies address menopause with greater awareness and support.

How to Save a Life: The Power of Harm Reduction for Drug Misuse - with Michael Gilbert, MPH at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
For decades, drug misuse has been met with punishment, stigma, and criminalization—but these approaches haven’t stopped the crisis. Instead, they’ve led to more overdose deaths, more harm, and fewer people getting help. In the U.S., over 100,000 people die from drug overdoses each year, with opioids accounting for nearly 75% of those deaths. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl have fueled a dramatic rise in overdoses, yet many people struggling with drug misuse never receive medical or social support.
In this episode, we explore harm reduction, a science-backed approach that meets people where they are, reduces overdose deaths, and creates safer communities. From safe consumption sites to drug-checking programs, these strategies are becoming more visible in neighborhoods everywhere. But many people still don’t understand what harm reduction is—or why it works.
Joining us is Michael Gilbert, a Harvard-trained public health technologist specializing in behavioral epidemiology, pharmacovigilance, and harm reduction. Together, we break down the facts, the myths, and the real-world impact of harm reduction strategies. Whether you've seen overdose prevention tools in public spaces, heard about new community programs, or just want to know more, this conversation will give you the insights and evidence you need to understand and support this life-saving approach.
