The Menopause Information Gap: Susan Dominus, New York Times

The NYT journalist who broke open the menopause conversation — on hormones, risk, and what we're still learning.

Susan Dominus wrote what many call the defining article of the modern menopause conversation. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, she and Stacy go deep: the cultural bias baked into "significant symptoms," how to actually think about hormone therapy risk, and why women spent 20 years without real answers.

Susan Dominus is a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine. Her 2022 piece "Women Have Been Misled About Menopause" sparked a nationwide conversation about hormone therapy, medical bias, and the cost of what we don't know.
