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. 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?
