Join Coach Kristy Lynn as she breaks down how the menopause industry has grown to $17.8B in 2024 (projected $24.3B by 2030), with the U.S. accounting for most revenue and supplements making up the vast majority, despite limited regulation.

She contrasts FDA-regulated hormonal and non-hormonal therapies with the “wild west” supplement market, and argues the boom arose from decades of medical neglect, including limited menopause training in OB-GYN programs and historical under-inclusion of women in research.

While awareness, benefits, legislation, and treatment options are improving, she warns about profit-driven marketing, influencers, and uncredentialed coaching, and shares red & green flags for providers and supplements, stressing evidence, third-party testing, and not dismissing symptoms as “just perimenopause.”

What comes to mind when someone says “menopause?” What about “aging?” Are those thoughts positive or negative? Do you see menopause and life after it as a decline or do you see it as freedom?

Hi! I’m Coach Kristy Lynn, menopause life coach and host of The Menopause Alchemist Podcast and each week, we’ll look at the usual menopause things like symptoms and treatment options, but we’re gonna look at them from a different perspective.

We’ll be exploring:

• How menopause impacts your long-term quality of life in every way, not just physically
• How different cultures view menopause and how those views have changed over time, and
• What different treatment options can and can’t do to decrease the effect of menopause symptoms on day-to-day life

And ultimately, I’m going to challenge you to change how you think about menopause and even aging itself.

This podcast (and my coaching) is about considering the possibilities and embracing, rather than fighting, the transition to your Elder Era.
