A podcast, a newsletter, a room
I'm Remi. I'm taking you with me on my adventure to know more about all the types and stages of menopause — peri, post, surgical and medical. Every reference I use goes in the show notes, downloadable. Wish me luck.
Three ways in
They're separate on purpose. Take one, take all three, take none of them and just read the show notes.

What this is, and what it isn't
This is for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with a clinician who knows your history.
All links to the journals and every reference made are attached to the show notes of the episode. Downloadable. Check the work — that's the point.
To help you know the questions to ask yourself and others, and to inspire you to go and do the research yourself.
Who's talking
The Menopause Report started because I went looking for straight answers and mostly found either silence or sales pitches. So I decided to do the reading in public.
"I will break down this very complex conversation into simple and digestible information. Wish me luck."
I'm not a doctor. I'm someone doing the research carefully, showing the sources, and taking you along with me. Everything I use is linked so you can disagree with me and go check for yourself.
Questions
No. Everything here is for educational purposes only. The goal is to get you thinking and to give you better questions to ask — not to tell you what to do about your own body. Take anything you find here to a clinician who knows your history.
Broadly: perimenopause is the transition before your periods stop, and it can run for years. Post-menopause begins twelve months after your last period. Surgical menopause is triggered by an operation, and medical menopause by treatment or medication. They arrive differently and they're often managed differently — which is exactly the distinction the podcast keeps returning to.
No. The podcast is free and always will be, and every journal link and reference goes in the show notes where anyone can download them. The newsletter and the group exist for people who want the written detail or the company.
No. It's $29.99 once and access doesn't expire. The group lives on Facebook, and alongside the community there are quarterly lives with me — sometimes with a guest expert. The newsletter is the only recurring payment here, and you can cancel that whenever you want.
Peer-reviewed journals and primary sources wherever possible, linked in full in the show notes for every episode and listed again in the newsletter. If a claim doesn't have a source attached, treat it as an opinion.
Then decide whether you want the written version or the room.
