Hot flashes, fatigue, and vaginal dryness were some of Katie’s first clues that her body was changing. Half the population will experience menopause, yet misinformation still abounds—with doctors ill-prepared to talk to patients about this major life transition. On this episode of How To!, journalist <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/susan-dominus">Susan Dominus</a> joins us to share the knowledge she gained from working on her viral magazine piece, “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/01/magazine/menopause-hot-flashes-hormone-therapy.html">Women Have Been Misled About Menopause</a>.” She explains why women’s pain has been ignored for so long, where to look for information, and how to connect with others during this confusing phase of life. Resources mentioned: “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23293691.2019.1619050">If Men Could Menstruate</a>” by Gloria Steinem<a href="https://heathercorinna.com/project/what-fresh-hell-is-this-perimenopause-menopause-other-indignities-and-you-a-guide/">What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You</a> by Heather Corinna<a href="https://drjengunter.com/the-menopause-manifesto/">The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism</a> by Dr. Jen Gunter<a href="https://www.spdbooks.org/Products/9780983620945/hot-flash-sonnets.aspx">Hot Flash Sonnets</a> by Moira Egan<a href="https://www.myalloy.com/">Alloy</a><a href="https://www.joinmidi.com/">Midi</a>If you liked this episode, check out: <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2023/07/how-to-plan-for-aging">How To Make Aging Easier for Everyone</a>. Do you have a problem that needs solving?
