In this episode of The Sweaty Pillow, Emily Wagner of Micropause takes a deep dive into the shame surrounding menopause in Hollywood, the difficulty of finding a natural treatment for menopause symptoms, and how she took that into her own hands. Emily delves into the world of natural supplementation for menopause symptoms and how they’ve helped herself and other women mitigate the brain fog. Oh, and she talks about having drinks with George Clooney! You can find Emily on Instagram @groomedla and her company @takemicropause You can shop Micropause at www.takemicropause.com More about Emily Wagner: Emily Wagner founded Micropause, a superfood adaptogenic mushroom blend designed to target perimenopause symptoms. She created the supplement after experiencing distressing symptoms and was unable to find natural relief beyond HRT. She found, despite living in LA - practically the wellness Mecca - that there was no conversation around perimenopause. She was told that she was too young to start HRT by her doctor because she was still having her period, and that she would just have to “white knuckle [her symptoms].” She is an authority in health and wellness and prides herself on scrutinizing trends and magic potions to find what’s effective. Emily’s ‘aha’ moment happened when she combined various supplements in search of natural, hormone-free relief. If you liked the episode, please write us a review and subscribe!
