You're Being Scammed: The Menopause Grift

Menopause Marketing is a Grift (Here’s What Actually Helps)

I used to talk about perimenopause in my branding… but I don’t anymore. Here’s why.

In this episode, I break down how the wellness industry is using menopause as a marketing goldmine—preying on vulnerable, overwhelmed women in their 40s and 50s.

From hormone hacks to supplement scams, it’s all starting to feel a little gross.

So I’m cutting through the noise and telling you the truth.We’ll talk about what’s really driving midlife weight gain, fatigue, and food confusion (spoiler: it’s not just your hormones), and how to support your metabolism without buying into the fear-based fluff.

This episode is part reality check, part rally cry—for any woman who’s sick of being treated like she’s broken just because she’s aging.

You’re not broken.

You’re just not being told the whole truth.
