Show Notes
The podcast is back and kicking off Season 3 with more myth-busting and more challenging of misinformation with OB-GYN Dr. Jen Gunter (@drjengunter). She's back on the show because the nonsense online about menopause and women's health has only heated up and not slowed down. She discusses the latest myths about hormone therapy, plus the newest hot topics: strength training and protein intake. Finally, Dr. Gunter discusses how the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and the conspiracy theories it espouses could have an impact on us Canadians up here.

More from Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo
Why are so many women leaving their doctor's office with more questions than answers? For the first time on Aging Powerfully, I'm bringing together four powerhouse experts for one no holds barred conversation: a neuroscientist, a family physician and menopause specialist, a fitness and menopause expert, and a registered dietitian. Four lenses, one mission: helping you understand what is really happening in your body at midlife.
One year ago, Dr. Omolayo Famuyide sat down with me to talk about why menopause is not the same for all of us. In the menoverse, a year is an eternity. Since then, the U.S. FDA has stripped most of the 20 year old black box warning off hormone therapy, a major new review has weighed in on hormones and dementia, Health Canada has authorized a new nonhormonal option for hot flashes, and social media has served up a fresh wave of miracle cures and scare stories.
It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this is one conversation every woman needs to hear.
She Doesn't Care About Your Excuses (And That's Why We Love Her)
After 18 years with Bell Media and 13 years co-hosting and moderating CTV's The Social, a show I conceived and pitched to the network over 15 years ago, I am stepping into my next chapter. In this Season 4 debut, I set aside the usual expert interviews to sit down with you, the audience, and talk directly about what's happened, what's next, and why I'm choosing to build this next chapter on my own terms.
