Someone Should've Told Me: Navigating Peri-Menopause with Dr. Jennifer Ashton

Intimate Details with Dr. Tiff

Imagine sitting down with your bestie, someone who knows the ins and outs of health and the human heart. That's the warmth Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News' Chief Health and Medical Correspondent, brings to our in-depth conversation about life's transitions, women's health, and so much more. Our laughter is contagious as we reminisce about our first meetings, the strength in affirmations, the grace in aging, and the power in embracing one's authenticity. Dr. Jen's insights lift the veil on topics that are often kept in the shadows, like sex after 50, menopause, and the importance of open, supportive dialogue.
Transitioning through life's stages can feel like a solitary journey, but it doesn't have to be. This episode illuminates the nuances of menopause and perimenopause, clarifying misconceptions and underscoring the impact these changes have on women's mental health and overall well-being. From the relief we both have found in hormone replacement therapy to the caution needed when considering testosterone pellets, we dissect the variety of treatment options available. It's an honest exchange about the individual nature of healthcare, the need for empathetic providers, and the journey I've taken through perimenopause—reminding us all that we're in this together.
So, join us as we chart a course through the beauty and complexity of womanhood, offering companionship and understanding every step of the way.
