Menopause 3.0: Thriving in Midlife with Dr. Tayo

In this episode, host Mary Lee interviews Dr. Tayo, a former radiologist who has transformed into a menopause wellness expert. Dr. Tayo share her invaluable insights on hormone therapy, advocacy, and the urgency for more menopause awareness and education in the workforce .

Dr. Tayo opens with her personal journey dealing with menopausal symptoms and exposes the unfortunate lack of medical training in this vital area of women’s health. The conversation explores the challenges and misconceptions surrounding menopause that so many women face and the importance of women asserting themselves and demanding they be recognized and appreciated for their worth beyond menopause.

We take no prisoners when addressing pressing societal issues, including misogyny and ageism, as well as the economic impact resulting from a lack of workplace support for those affected at work.

When it comes to symptom management, an indivdualized approach is key and, while menopause hormone therapy (HRT) has its benefits, Dr. Tayo advocates for a whole-body approach. Crucial lifestyle factors, including sleep, brain health, and stress management play a vital role in our overall wellness. With this approach, Dr. Tayo shares arevolutionary Five Superpower System for managing menopause without risky medications.
