An interview with Dr. Jen Gunter on rethinking menopause and about her book, The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism.

Menopause is not a disease–it’s a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what’s to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.”
