Menopause at Age 38: Dr. Watson Shares Her Mother’s Story

Menopause is a natural yet often misunderstood phase in every woman’s life, marked by mixed emotions and misconceptions about this significant transition. In this inaugural episode of “Menopause Rescue,” Dr. Polly Watson, a gynecologist certified by the Menopause Society and renowned for integrating traditional and functional medicine, shares a personal catalyst for her career in women’s health—her mother’s early menopause experience. Her story goes beyond her own path through medical training on gynecology and menopause. It’s a wake-up call, urging us to fundamentally change how we talk about and manage menopause care. “I really want us as midlife women to lean into all of the wisdom that we’ve gathered to get to this point," Dr. Polly says. Dr. Polly shines a spotlight on the significant lack of menopause-focused education within medical training and the healthcare system, encouraging women to proactively manage their health during the menopausal transition. She advocates for a holistic approach that integrates lifestyle changes, hormone replacement therapy, and functional medicine to tackle the challenges of this pivotal phase in women’s lives. 00:30 The Beginning It began with a frustrating medical journey with a male doctor 9:30 The 2nd Half I really want to offer a menopause or midlife as this catalyst to create what we need for the second half of our lives. 11:35 Menopause Training Unfortunately, women are trying to re-engage with the healthcare system and the health care system hasn’t been adequately trained in menopausal medicine most of the time. And so women are leaving that health care interaction super frustrated and often not getting their needs met. 13:00 One Size Fits All I would really like to create a space for discussion of complexity and nuance and try to get away from some of the absolutist claims and have a little bit more realistic conversation about what might work for someone and what might not work for someone else. 13:40 Growth Mindset We can approach this with curiosity and hopefully some optimism. The revolution happens when women are at the center of their health creation. 15:18 Holistic Medicine I want to help you discern both holistic claims and conventional claims and hopefully serve as a bridge to sort of bring you the best of both of those worlds.
