Menopause Unfiltered: Real Talk, Real Solutions
For too long, perimenopause and menopause were taboo topics—leaving women confused, frustrated, and totally blindsided by the symptoms. Cue the hot flashes, mood swings, sleepless nights, and the sudden urge to Google “Is this perimenopause… or am I just losing it?” This week on the FASTer Way Podcast, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with award-winning journalist and midlife wellness advocate Tamsen Fadal for a conversation that’s honest, empowering, and exactly what every woman in her 30s, 40s, and 50s needs to hear.
Tamsen doesn’t just talk menopause—she lives it, leads it, and wrote the literal handbook on how to manage it with confidence. From experiencing her first hot flash live on-air (yes, really) to becoming a fierce voice for women navigating hormone shifts, Tamsen is on a mission to help you stop suffering in silence and start taking charge of your health.

What All Women Need to Know Perimenopause & Menopause
In this episode we cover everything you wish your doctor told you and more.
🚩 Recognizing the REAL Signs of Perimenopause
Still getting regular periods but feeling off? Tamsen breaks down the actual early signs of perimenopause—like brain fog, irritability, and crushing fatigue—that often get dismissed or misdiagnosed.
FASTer Way Insight: If you're dealing with weight gain, mood swings, or sleep issues in your late 30s or 40s, it could be perimenopause. You’re not crazy—you’re just in a new season. We’ve got science-backed strategies to help you feel strong, clear-headed, and confident again.
😴 Sleep Is the First Domino
Tamsen shares how quality sleep must be a priority for women 35+. It affects everything from your energy and appetite to your motivation to work out. She opens up about how she addressed her insomnia with a mix of progesterone, magnesium, and rock-solid nighttime habits (hello, black-out curtains and winding down early!).
FASTer Way Takeaway: Before you reach for another supplement, fix your foundation. Sleep, nutrition, and stress management are non-negotiables for midlife wellness.
🏋️♀️ Muscle is Medicine
Amanda and Tamsen talk about why strength training is essential for women in midlife—especially when it comes to preserving bone density, preventing weight gain, and boosting confidence.
Not-so-fun fact: You start losing muscle in your 30s. But the good news? You can gain it back—and feel better than ever—with the right combo of strength training, whole food macros, and recovery (we teach you exactly how in the FASTer Way!).
💬 Hormones, Husbands, and Hot Flashes
From sudden snoring rage to midlife marriage struggles, Amanda and Tamsen get real about the relationship rollercoaster that often hits during menopause. Hormone changes don’t just affect your body—they impact your mood, libido, and how you show up in your closest relationships.
Tamsen shares how understanding her estrogen levels helped her stop blaming herself and start communicating better.
🧬 Advocating for Yourself at the Doctor’s Office
One of the biggest takeaways? Most doctors were never trained in menopause care. Yup. Tamsen and Amanda talk about how to find providers who get it—whether through functional medicine, OB/GYNs with hormone training, or telehealth platforms that specialize in women’s midlife health.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this just me?”—this episode will be the aha moment you’ve been waiting for.
