I really appreciate you covering this particular topic. Menopause as a unfortunate taboo need content creators like yourselves to bring it to the Forefront, thank you.

I would like to point out that one of your commentators mentioned that this is not a "particularly severe or dangerous Medical event." Yet the very articulate young woman you just spoke with did mentioned menopause affects the endocrine system and the subsequently affects on bone density, cardiac health, respiratory health, and psychiatrists can in fact represent a significant life threat. I work in an emergency room and I can't think of a time menopause was mentioned or asked about during the assessment process when a women comes in with cardiac issues or GI bleeds, or a potential Strokes. Yet that hormone imbalance affects those systems and you think it would be something that the attending clinician would recommend for follow-up, but they don't.

I personally would appreciate some reconsideration on the severity of the effect it is having and its relation to life threat. Diminishing the potential severity of outcomes does no one any favors. You must look at the whole picture for there to be any hope for improvement in the process.

Really enjoyed the podcast. Thanks for sharing. Such a massive opportunity for impact. I did thing the end section post interview with Loewen didn't work so probably could have been cut. Looking forward to the next podcast.
