Welcome to Double Down with Dr. D! In this first episode, I explore the fascinating history of menopause and why society has framed it as a decline. From ancient civilizations to modern-day misconceptions, I uncover how cultural narratives shape our experience—and how we can reclaim this transition as a time of growth and reinvention. Join me as we shift the conversation, challenge outdated beliefs, and embrace midlife as an exciting new chapter.
Midlife is not a crisis—it’s an opportunity. In this debut episode of Double Down with Dr. D, I challenge the outdated belief that menopause is a decline and reveal the true power of this life transition. We explore how history, culture, and even the pharmaceutical industry shaped modern views on menopause—and why it’s time to reclaim this stage as one of growth, creativity, and empowerment. Join me as we break free from old narratives and embrace midlife as a period of reinvention.
