Listen for clear guidance on perimenopause, menopause and life after menopause—and learn why women deserve support that goes far beyond “just deal with it.”
In this episode of Working Healthcare, host Meredith Hirsh sits down with Maryon Stewart, a women’s health advocate and menopause expert, to challenge the silence, confusion and dismissal that surround perimenopause, menopause and life after menopause. Maryon brings four decades of experience and a fierce sense of justice to a conversation that reaches far beyond hot flashes.
Meredith shares her own search for answers after early menopause and a family history of breast cancer. Maryon explains why so many women feel blindsided, why credible guidance can feel impossible to find and why a short doctor visit rarely leaves room for the full story. They confront a healthcare system that often sends women home with vague advice, antidepressants or no clear path forward.
The conversation also exposes the high price of inaction. Women lose sleep, confidence, intimacy and momentum at work. Employers lose experienced leaders. Families carry the strain in quiet, painful ways. Yet Maryon offers hope through practical education, nutrition, movement, stress support and research-backed care that treats a woman as a whole person, not a list of symptoms.
This episode asks a vital question: Why does a life stage that affects millions of women still sit at the margins of healthcare?
Press play for a candid, compassionate conversation about menopause, medical blind spots and the urgent need for better support for women at every stage of life.
