Welcome to another powerful episode of the ANEW  Insight Podcast, co-hosted by Dr. Supatra Tovar, clinical psychologist, registered dietitian, and author of Deprogram Diet Culture, physical therapist and author of Settled.

This week, we sit down with Lauren Chiren, renowned menopause expert and CEO of Women of a Certain Stage. A former corporate leader turned wellness advocate, Lauren shares her personal story of being misdiagnosed with early-onset dementia—only to later discover it was actually premature menopause at the age of 37. Her experience sparked a mission: to redefine how workplaces, healthcare providers, and society support women during menopause.

In this empowering conversation, Lauren breaks the silence around menopausal health and explains how hormonal shifts impact mental clarity, emotional stability, and work performance. She dives into her evidence-based Menopause Plan, covering hydration, nutrition, daily structure, and mindset—offering women simple, actionable tools to reduce symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog.

You’ll learn:

• How to advocate for menopause accommodations at work
• Why menopause is still stigmatized—and how to change the conversation
• Natural strategies to improve focus, mood, and sleep
• The intersection of menopause, burnout, and corporate leadership
• How mental health care and lifestyle adjustments can ease the transition

Whether you're going through perimenopause, in the midst of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode delivers essential insights and compassion-driven solutions.
