## Resource

Tim and May welcome veteran health journalist Anne-Marie McQueen — founder of Hot Flash Inc. and host of one of the most respected perimenopause and menopause newsletters in the space — for an unflinching look at what's actually known, what's being oversold, and what women are missing in today's hormone conversation. Reporting in from Abu Dhabi, Anne-Marie brings 30 years of journalism rigor to a topic the internet has turned into a marketing arms race.
