Hello Menopause!
Motherhood, Menopause & Mental Health: Ruthie Ackerman on Life After COVID
Author Ruthie Ackerman joins Stacy for an honest conversation about the messy overlap between postpartum, perimenopause, and pandemic-era mental health. They unpack how COVID blurred the lines between hormonal and emotional change—and why self-advocacy is essential for women’s healthcare today. Together, Stacy and Ruthie discuss how the isolation and emotional toll of lockdown amplified symptoms that were already difficult to parse, the importance of self-advocacy in women’s health, and the ongoing “COVID hangover” still affecting collective well-being. Ruthie Ackerman is the author of The Mother Code and the founder of the Ignite Writers Collective. Her writing has been published in Vogue, Glamour, TIME, and Oprah Daily, not to mention her Modern Love essay in the NYT. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.

The Midlife Reset: Dr. Jessica Shepherd on Hormones, Menopause, and Women's Health
OBGYN & Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jessica Shepherd joins Stacy London to connect the dots between postpartum and perimenopause, weight redistribution, GLP-1s, hormone therapy (MHT), and the mind-body habits—sleep, strength training, nutrition—that actually move the needle. Stacy talks with OBGYN and author Dr. Jessica Shepherd about what really changes in midlife and why care must be holistic—not siloed. They unpack how estrogen’s decline affects everything from brain fog to body composition, why symptom-led care matters, when to consider MHT during perimenopause, the promise (and limits) of GLP-1s, and the five lifestyle pillars Dr. Shepherd prescribes alongside any medical toolkit. The conversation also tackles access and why flexible, 24/7 telehealth models can close critical gaps for women. Hello Menopause is a podcast from Let’s Talk Menopause.

From Midlife Crisis to Midlife Chrysalis: Chip Conley’s Roadmap to Reinvention
In this episode of Hello Menopause, Stacy talks with entrepreneur, author, and Modern Elder Academy founder Chip Conley about what it really means to navigate midlife. Drawing from his own experience with prostate cancer and hormone therapy, Chip shares what it felt like to go through “male menopause” and how that informed his vision for the Modern Elder Academy—a first-of-its-kind midlife wisdom school. Chip and Stacy explore the emotional, physical, and social upheavals of this life stage—why the “midlife crisis” is a myth, how we can embrace the chrysalis of transition, and why menopause and midlife deserve community, conversation, and support. With humor, vulnerability, and deep insight, Chip reframes aging as a time of curiosity, connection, and potential. Hello Menopause is a podcast from Let’s Talk Menopause.

Bonus Episode: You Are Not Broken with Kelly Casperson
This week, we’ve got a bonus episode for you - an episode from Dr. Kelly Casperson's podcast You Are Not Broken: Episode 259: Lancet Menopause Article Rebuttal - the Menoposse.  Dr. Casperson and a panel of menopause expert physicians and nurse practitioners discuss the recent four-part article series on menopause published in The Lancet. In the episode, Dr. Casperson and her guests address the agenda behind these articles and the implications for menopause care. The panel strongly disagrees with the claim that menopause is being over-medicalized and emphasizes the importance of hormone therapy in managing menopausal symptoms and preventing long-term health issues. They also criticize the suggestion that cognitive behavioral therapy should be the first-line treatment for menopause symptoms, highlighting the barriers to access and the lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness. The panel advocates for a comprehensive and individualized approach to menopause care. The conversation methodically identifies the principal themes discussed in the Lancet article on menopause.
