The Menopause Disruptor Podcast
Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.
My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. The menopausal transition is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized.
Reflecting on my own encounters with the lack gap in female hormonal health and leaning in on my experience in science communication and public relations practitioner, I decided the time is now to rewrite the script and bring truth and reliable resources to the forefront.
In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post. Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging.
It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.
Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!

Epic Mini - Menopause Weight Gain
Hey there listeners, I'm sharing with you an important albeit brief discussion on the dreaded weight gain with menopause because this topic is so prevalent among women.
It deserves more attention but let me just emphasis the importance of lifestyle choices including exercise, diet, sleep management and stress reduction - more four pillars to menopause management that I share with my clients.
In this mini, you will breifly learn about the impact of estrogen levels on the body's metabolism and get a firehose dose of simple, yet achievable tips for managing weight and overall health during this phase. Consider one or all of the noted approaches mentioned, including Zone 2 cardio, strength training, yoga, stress management, and hormone replacement therapy for symptom relief.
