Six years ago, Bridgett Garratt and her co-host launched the podcast Hot Flashes & Cool Topics because they were tired of the silence and confusion surrounding midlife and menopause.

Now, Bridgett joins Andrea Claire to deliver a no-holds-barred conversation that demands we get real about women's health.

In this captivating episode, we dive deep into the journey of authenticity as we navigate this powerful stage of life. Bridgett shares the recurring, often infuriating themes from her show, revealing where the system is failing women. We don't just talk about age bias—we call out the 'Karen' phenomenon and dissect how the success of treatments like adding testosterone to HRT still seems to be stuck in a male-centric paradigm.
