What if menopause wasn’t something to sit back and suffer through — but a transition you could prepare for, navigate well and even thrive in?
In this energizing episode of MenoPositive, Lisa is joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd — OBGYN, menopause expert, media physician and author of Generation M — for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about the three stages of menopause: Perimenopause, Menopause & the After Party – and how women can feel more informed, more prepared and more incontrol.
Dr. Shepherd breaks menopause down into three clear phases: the preseason (perimenopause), the main event(menopause), and the after party (post menopause) — helping women understand what’s happening in their bodies, whatsymptoms to look out for, and what support is available.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The difference between perimenopause, menopause and post menopause
- The early signs of perimenopause, including irregular periods and anxiety
- Why menopause is a whole-body experience – not just a reproductive issue
- How to think about HRT – benefits, risks and different delivery options to match your needs and lifestyle
- To blood test or not to blood test?
- How mindset influences menopause symptoms
- How to build a long-term, menopause game plan that supports your 50s, 60s and beyond!
This conversation is about more than symptom management. It’s about entering midlife with better tools, better information and a stronger sense of agency.
Because menopause is not a choice.
But how you experience it is.
