	Description:		Menopause & HT (start time: 0:58) It happens to every woman with a uterus who reaches midlife. Menopause is a major hormonal transition that, although very challenging for some women, is natural, and (get this!) even advantageous to civilization. Think grandmothers! Yet menopause has been treated like a disease, and largely dismissed by the medical community. As a result, too many women suffer through menopause in pain, shame, and loneliness. In this week’s show, host Susan Moran interviews Dr. Jen Gunter, a gynecologist and specialist in chronic pain medicine. She wrote the book The Menopause Manifesto (2021), and she’s among a growing cadre of medical practitioners who are pushing to bring more information to women about what to expect during menopause and about treatment options, including hormones.
