Most women will recognize one or two symptoms of menopause - the infamous hot flashes or weight gain. But there’s also brittle nails, tingling in your hands and changes to your taste buds. In fact, there are more than 50 symptoms of menopause. Today’s guest, Tamsen Fadal, found out she was in menopause while on live TV. Tamsen is an Emmy award winning journalist and executive producer of the documentary “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause”. She’s got a new book titled “How to Menopause”.
