Episode #912

How can understanding menopause transform your relationship?

In this episode, we revisit an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Marie Agnew, a functional medicine expert and my personal doctor, to explore the physical, emotional, and relational impacts of perimenopause and menopause.

We take a closer look at the hormonal changes women face and the ripple effects these can have on marriage and family life. Dr. Agnew provides practical tools for men to better support their wives during this transformative phase and to strengthen connection and intimacy.

You’ll learn:

• Key hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause—and how they affect mood, energy, and libido.
• How diagnostic tools like the Dutch test can shed light on hormonal health.
• Tips for initiating supportive, non-judgmental conversations with your wife.
• Lifestyle changes to improve health and strengthen your bond as a couple.

Whether you missed this conversation the first time or need a refresher, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you navigate this journey together.
