Martha & Sally talk about the collection of changes that made Sally realize she was in perimenopause, even as her doctors continued to claim that her hormones “looked fine” and they didn’t “think” she was in it yet.
- Is part of “the change” external and more connected to the messages we’re getting about being “too old” or “past our prime”? (Things that aren’t really reflected in those snapshots of a hormone blood serum draw.)
- And how do some of those messages contribute to the increase in rather flippant recommendations to “just get a hysterectomy” in our 40s?
- What IF you aren’t ready to give it up? Your career, sex, your uterus, your right to reinvent yourself?
We explore these questions and more and arrive at some answers in this episode.
We START this conversation talking about how we’re targeted — solutions-peddlers are leveraging our pain points to make the sale! And we're not loving that that makes the product sellers our main source of information.
We END this episode talking about how I HAPPILY spent hundreds of dollars on a vFit - a medical red-light therapy device for my vagina that two years later I still love! (You can save 10% with the link below.)
And, because my friends see me wearing them all the time (along with the eye gels) Frownies facial patches come up once again. You can save 10% with code MAV10 or by using the link below.
MAV TIP: If any medical professional (or friend giving you "medical advice") suggests a surgery or procedure, do your homework. Research it a little! Just because someone else is happy they did something, even if their symptoms seem similar to yours, doesn't mean their solution is the most up-to-date one or even appropriate for your particular situation.
Take care of yourself. And take care of your vagina!
