Not Your Mother’s Menopause: The Midlife...

Dear Media
About this episode

Schuyler Grant joins Treated with Dr. Sara Szal (formerly Dr. Sara Gottfried) for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about hormones, menopause, and why midlife is the most powerful chapter of your life. Meet Schuyler Grant: Yoga teacher, retreat leader, and my co-conspirator in rebranding menopause. In this episode, we dive into 100+ symptoms of perimenopause, how to manage them, why the medical system is failing women, and why we need to rebrand menopause altogether. 

 

Schuyler and I also reveal what really happens at our sold-out Hot for Hormones retreats at Commune—and why women are flying across the world to be in the room. Plus, we explore the magic of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula and wrap up with a guided breathwork session that will shift your nervous system in real time.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is betraying you in midlife, this episode will change the way you think about aging, metabolism, and your next chapter.
