EP 688: Lauren A. Tetenbaum – An Empowering Guide to Perimenopause and Menopause


What inspired your interest in the field of women’s health?

I’ve always been passionate about supporting women, from the time I was a kid. I graduated college thinking I’d be a lawyer to advocate for women’s rights. I graduated as a JD and social worker. I became a mom, COVID happened, and we were struggling. 

How does menopause impact women’s mental health?

There can be mood swings, depression, not feeling like yourself. The health care system doesn’t always realize it’s because the hormones are fluctuating. It’s a different flavor of anxiety. If women have had a previous episode of hormone related depression before, they’re more likely to suffer depression during perimenopause and menopause. It takes a big toll.

What should men know about perimenopause and menopause?

They should know the basics about menopause and perimenopause. Men are impacted by menopause. The most important thing is to be compassionate and curious. How are you, and how can I help you?

What can women do to advocate for themselves when it comes to menopause?

Millennials are aging and entering perimenopause. I realized I knew nothing about menopause, and I started researching and learned that very few people know early on how to prepare for menopause. I learned more about osteoporosis, mental health, how men are impacted and more. I want to normalize this issue. 

Women have many options when perimenopause begins, including mood changes. Hormone therapy is a safer option and so are lifestyle changes. Know yourself. Write down patterns of symptoms. Reach out to a health care provider that you trust. Explain the changes and how they impact you. Ask what their experience is with menopause care, including perimenopause. Ask what your options are. If they can’t help you, find someone else. 

What are your final words of advice for anyone who wants to go on their last first date?

If you’re embarking on a new relationship, menopause can be a new chapter. It can come with challenges. You don’t need to suffer or be alone. You deserve to have a happy and fulfilled life. Get support and learn how to advocate for your needs.
