Making Menopause Matter
Making Menopause Matter is the podcast that opens up the conversation around menopause—honestly, openly, and without shame.
Hosted by Diane Danzebrink, founder of Menopause Support, it’s here to guide you through the confusing menopause landscape, and to inform and support anyone affected by menopause, directly or indirectly.
From symptoms to solutions, with plenty of myth-busting along the way, this is your go-to listen for clarity, connection, and change.
