What happens when men sit down to talk honestly about menopause?
In this episode of MenoPositive, we hand the mic to three men—William, Tom, and Matt—for a candid conversation about menopause. From partners in perimenopause denial to post menopause shifts, their reflections reveal how little men understand about this life stage—and how powerful it is when they start asking questions.
Guided by Lisa and her friend Dr. Shahzadi Harper, this episode explores the science behind the symptoms, how it can be dismissed as stress, burnout, or simply “getting older,” and how the impact stretches far beyond hot flushes to brain health, heart health, sexual wellbeing and body composition.
But this conversation isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about empathy. How can men support the women in their lives through a transition they’ll never personally experience? We also find out if male menopause (andropause) is real and what men need to look out for.
The episode has great practical advice for partners—from accompanying women to appointments, to making lifestyle changes together, to simply listening without judgment. And yes, they even answer the men’s burning questions: Are there any positives to menopause?and“Will I ever have sex again?”
Join us for an enlightening, candid, and surprisingly funny conversation that proves menopause is far more than a punchline or simply a “woman’s story” –it’s a relationship and family story.
