Gender, Hormones & Midlife Health: Rethinking Menopause with Dr. Jill Liss

In this powerful, eye-opening conversation, Stacy is joined by Dr. Jill Liss to explore what menopause looks like beyond the gender binary. Dr. Liss, a physician at the University of Colorado and co-author of a pivotal paper on sexual health and menopause, shares her unique expertise in both menopause care and gender-affirming gynecology. Together, they discuss surgical vs. natural menopause, misconceptions around birth control and fertility, and how to care for patients who are trans, non-binary, or gender-diverse through the menopause transition. Dr. Liss emphasizes the need for personalized, inclusive medicine—and the role of empathy, community, and accurate information in transforming care. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to better understand menopause across the spectrum of identity. Hello Menopause is a podcast from Let’s Talk Menopause.
