The Truth About Menopause: Hormones, Aging & What Doctors Don’t Tell You

In today’s episode, Dominique welcomes back her brilliant friend and menopause educator, Dr. Barbara Taylor (aka Menopause Taylor), for a deeply insightful conversation on how women can win at menopause with confidence, clarity, and knowledge.

Dr. Barbara shares the journey that led her to become one of the most trusted voices on menopause on YouTube—and how a 2016 conversation with Dominique helped launch it all. They dive into her new book, How to Win at Menopause, and break down the myths, fears, and facts about hormone replacement therapy, symptom management, and why it’s never too late to advocate for your body. Dr. Barbara also answers listener questions submitted by the audience.
