For decades, women have been told to push through midlife symptoms quietly—sleep less, eat less, exercise more, complain less. But the reality is far more complex, and far more biological. Menopause isn’t a breakdown. It’s a system-wide recalibration that medicine has failed to fully explain or support.

On this episode of the Fusionary Health Podcast, Dr. Shivani Gupta is joined by Dr. Fiona Lovely, a pioneer in menopause education and one of the first clinicians to publicly center women’s midlife health. With over 20 years of clinical experience spanning musculoskeletal health, restorative endocrinology, functional neurology, and functional medicine, Dr. Lovely has helped reshape how menopause is understood. She’s the founder of the Menopause Doula Society and the long-running podcast Not Your Mother’s Menopause, launched in 2015.

Together, they unpack the real physiological shifts of perimenopause and menopause from brain rewiring and hormonal volatility to joint pain, metabolic changes, bladder health, and the critical role of estrogen. This conversation offers clarity, validation, and a roadmap for women who refuse to be dismissed during one of the most powerful transitions of their lives.

Key Highlights

• Why menopause is a neurological, hormonal, and metabolic recalibration

• The overlooked musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and why joint pain spikes

• How estrogen loss affects brain health, heart health, and bladder function

• Why women are wrongly blamed for midlife weight gain and cholesterol changes
