Podcast | The New Science of Women's Health with Tamsen Fadal & Dr. Amy Killen

Or, listen on Spotify

In this episode of The Commune Podcast, we revisit and combine two powerful conversations on women’s hormonal health — featuring Dr. Amy Killen and Tamsen Fadal. Together, they unpack one of the biggest medical misunderstandings of the modern era: how misinformation about menopause and hormone therapy has left millions of women suffering in silence.

Amy and Tamsen explore what really happened after the flawed 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, how fear and stigma shaped an entire generation’s view of hormones, and what today’s research reveals about safe, effective treatments. From understanding perimenopause to exploring bioidentical hormone therapy, vaginal estradiol, and lifestyle changes that support longevity, this mashup is a vital roadmap for women at every stage of life.
