I cried. Not even joking. When she said one of the important things about this research is it validates women’s experience that their brains really are changing, they aren’t going crazy. I sat on my basement floor between refocusing myself 35 times today, forgetting that I needed to start laundry this morning, double checking kids schedules 2 times this morning so I don’t forget or miss something again and feeling totally overwhelmed. . . As soon as she finished that sentence tears just started flowing and I had to sit down. Thank you, Dr. Mosconi thank you for your research. Thank you for helping women be seen after we have been ignored and gaslighted by the medical community for as long as we have existed. I’m gonna blow my nose, and get right back on my to do list, because women are a lot of things, and resilient is just one of them!

Diary of a CEO is a waaaaaay more woman-friendly podcast than any out there. Refreshingly absent of insufferable immature bro-energy a la Chris Williamson. Steven is genuine, open, and mature & clearly loves women. Enough so to have menopause-focused podcast. He features genuinely strong, smart women as guests on here. As long as he does this, women like me will continue to come back. Bravo for seeing us ladies as equals, Steven. You are quality and it oozes out of you.

I was pushed into Medically induced menopause at 36 due to breast cancer. Thank you for acknowledging me in this conversation. I never mattered before.

Can we all agree that Steven Bartlett is making a great contribution to society? His reporting of women's issues is fantastic and his empathy is genuine. He is smart and shows keen insight into all human experiences. 👏👏👏👏👏
@DDN10x
This is the scientific validation of everything that my 55 year old wife has been saying for a couple of years now. I will never ever dismiss or make fun of any of her symptoms. Every woman and husband should see this.

Steven Bartlett, this is by far THE MOST VALUABLE interview you have done in your entire career! You and your team are doing an incredible job, and interviewing many amazing people. However, given the scarcity of information about women’s health currently, the value of this episode eclipses all of the rest combined. The impact this has on society is staggering. Please do more episodes on this subject! Thank you so much. Please like my comment, so it pops up on top and is visible.

Low carb high fat worked for me. My alzheimers is reversed. I was diagnosed two years ago, my symptoms were severe. From a score of 17 on the cognitive test to 30/30 and now answering very fast. I am 61 years old and running on ketones instead of sugar. My menopause was horrendous ten year ordeal. All the best to you on this journey 💗
@30smagazine
I literally broke out in tears at the segment where you talk about brainfog and communication. I’m that woman who had communications as my superpower as a professional comms advisor and writer and I lost it and don’t have any control over it anymore. When she gave that exact example all my frustration and feelings all the pain and desperation I feel was validated and acknowledged.
@michelleblair3837
Unfortunate, I have never met a man that was interested in learning about women’s health. Only making fun of menopausal women. When fathers do this openly or covertly; the children take on this opinion and the woman suffers so much in silence. I also know some women who bash others who are having such difficulty in menopause and these women have not experienced any symptoms yet; they make very derogatory comments . It’s very sad and hurtful. I’m so happy this topic is getting out there. Thank you for discussing this with dignity and truth on your channel.

I am a black woman who has studied my perimenopausal journey and i have tones of notes aboit the changes I have gone through. My study involves the use of Neorotheological Music Therapy to help with symptoms of anxiety, depression, memory loss and fatigue. Music therapy has been incredible!!! I use it daily including EMDR, meditation, excercise, a healthy diet and other lifestyle changes.
@Vacationseekers-p5r
Menopause is a horrible horrible thing to go through! I am SO SO proud of this guy for caring about woman and trying to understand this ugly thing we go through.
@cabolynn
I had such an easy menopause and it was not until age 57 that my cycle just stopped. I seriously credit that to my lifestyle though. Eating a high fat and pastured/grassfed protein diet with fresh fruit and produce, all organic made a huge difference. Taking quality supplements, lots of time in nature and weight training, mobility and agility, protecting my motor units helps too. I watched the women in my life fade away and said to myself that I was going to do better than them, healthwise and that was when I was 12. I'm 64 now.

As a 49-year-old man and father of a daughter, who has been accompanied, supported, and inspired by so many women throughout my life, I can only express my gratitude for this important interview. Steven, you and your team have made such a valuable contribution here—thank you! And a special thanks to Dr. Lisa Mosconi for her groundbreaking work! I would particularly encourage men to watch this interview. If we genuinely want to address the injustices and differences between genders, it’s crucial to deepen our understanding of the biological, neurological, and psychological aspects of gender—in this case, the unique qualities of women. Gaining this knowledge can bring us closer to building a respectful and harmonious coexistence. This interview is an excellent place to start.
@elwood212
It was my husband who taught me to eat when I had low blood sugar and tracked my cycle, understood my menopause transition better than I did.. having this support is helping me continue to grow into a better kinder person.
@Jane-l9m
As a 52 yr old woman currently going through menopause it should be mandatory for every health professional to listen to this podcast. It is just a hellish, life changing, emotional time. 😢The loss of control over what is happening is difficult to deal with. Thank goodness for researchers such as this women. They will change the face of this event for women all over the world and help create understanding, support and empathy. It can’t happen fast enough.
@rehaba5763
I would listen to her 24/7. I love her pace and calmness, explaining things in a straight forward manner. I envy her students
