À propos de cet audio

 I’m filmmaker and musician Alicia J. Rose, and I want to empower women with the motherf$#@!% energy to start a revolution. By 2030, one billion women will be in menopause. One. Billion. Imagine if every man’s testosterone flatlined by 50 — you think the world would stay quiet about that? Welcome to menopause: complete hormonal upheaval. And perimenopause? She’s the chaotic, b*tchy, opening act that none of us can escape. The worst part? We’re turning to a medical system that keeps spreading the lie that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer — misinformation that’s been harming women’s health since 2002. That’s why I’m making MENOPUNKS — a feature documentary and podcast about menopause, perimenopause, quality of life and the creative process. It’s time to torch the misinformation, set the record straight about HRT, and give people the tools to advocate for their bodies, their energy, and their sanity. Because women can’t do good if they don’t feel good. Because gender-affirming care is a human right. And because it’s way past time for MENOPUNKS to to start a revolution. So join me as I pull back the curtain on the filmmaking journey, swap stories with incredible musicians, artists, and menopause experts, and expose one of the biggest medical cover-ups in modern history. ⚡️LFG⚡️ GET ON THE LIST: MENOPUNKS.COMc 2025 Menopunks Hygiène et mode de vie sain Musique Sciences sociales

  • CALLING BULLSH*T ON THE GENDER & HORMONE BINARY with Gilly Ann Hanner

    CALLING BULLSH*T ON THE GENDER & HORMONE BINARY with Gilly Ann Hanner
    Dec 5 2025
    In this episode, Alicia chats with dear friend and early 90's punk legend Gilly Ann Hanner of Calamity Jane. They dive into everything from peri/menopausal chaos to standing up for the rights of the trans community, to that time Calamity Jane opened for Nirvana in Argentina and wound up imploding as a band immediately after. They reminisce about being punk firestarters in the early 90's, the not-so-glorious misogyny that came with it, and why women in music deserve way more than mansplaining over effects pedals at Guitar Center. They also take aim at the wild world of women’s health misinformation, the deeply unfair gender/hormone binary, and the bullshit HRT scandal that is still ruining women's lives on the daily - because half the population hits menopause and the medical establishment is still working from a playbook that needs to get up to speed RIGHT F*CKING NOW. So many laughs, truth bombs, and at least one moment where you say, “Wait—why the f*ck didn’t anybody tell me that about perimenopause?” Gilly and Alicia break down the power of building a Menopunks community, the magic of women supporting women, and the absolute necessity of demanding better—preferably while starting a band in your 50's or asking your doctor for HRT. Tune in, buckle up, and embrace the chaos. Menopause has never sounded so good. 🎸🔥 MORE FROM GILLY MORE FROM ALICIA GET ON THE LIST: https://www.menopunks.com FUNDRAISING NOW PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION: http://fundraiser.support/menopunks.com THEME SONG BY PARTY WITCH DISTRIBUTION: RUINOUS MEDIA Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Menopunks Podcast 02:55 Exploring the Menopunks Documentary 05:49 The Impact of Music and Community 08:52 Health Challenges and Hormone Replacement Therapy 11:46 Misinformation and the Medical Community 14:45 The Journey of Creating Menopunks 17:42 The Power of Hormonal Optimization 20:35 The Evolution of the Menopunks Concept 23:34 Community Engagement and Movement Building 26:34 Navigating Modern Challenges and Misinformation 30:18 The Rise of Menopunks 34:16 Empowerment Through Information 36:22 Bodily Autonomy and Civil Rights 37:44 Punk Roots and Feminism 45:45 The Journey of Calamity Jane 51:57 Facing Misogyny in Music 57:47 Creating Community and Connection 58:14 The Power of Community in Music 59:39 Menopunks: A Celebration of Connection 01:01:02 Rediscovering Identity and Power in Midlife 01:02:59 The Impact of Hormonal Changes on Women 01:04:53 Reclaiming Agency and Power 01:08:14 Navigating Hormone Therapy and Self-Discovery 01:11:16 The Role of Hormones in Personal Transformation 01:14:46 Building a Supportive Community 01:17:29 Empowering Women and the Fight for Equality 01:22:40 Optimism in the Face of Adversity

  • F*CKING CANCER BACK WITH HRT with Nikki Kuehl NP/Menopause Specialist

    F*CKING CANCER BACK WITH HRT with Nikki Kuehl NP/Menopause Specialist
    Nov 27 2025
    ⚡️In this fun and fierce episode Alicia gets into it with triple positive breast cancer survior/HRT advocate Nikki Kuehl NP, busting through the nightmare of hormonal health and the patriarchal trash heap that’s shaped women’s medical narratives for decades. Nikki reveals her own story—surviving breast cancer, crash-landing into menopause, and realizing just how little real information women - and medical practitioners - are provided while being expected to politely endure the hellspiral. Together they rip into the infamous Women’s Health Initiative study—the one that slammed the brakes on HRT access for an entire generation—and unpack how fear, misinformation, and outdated science still warp the conversation. They reclaim the truth: hormones aren’t a luxury; they’re a quality-of-life lifeline. And women deserve to understand their options, not tiptoe through a minefield of myths. They dive into the messy politics of hormone therapy, the pros and cons of patch vs. pill, and the absolute necessity of women being fully educated and empowered in their choices so they can make positive change in themselves and the world. They imagine a full-on MENOPUNKS revolution where women refuse silence, demand better care, and take back control of their bodies, their health, and their stories.⚡️ ⚡️MENOPUNKS IS A MISINFORMATION SHATTERING FEATURE DOCUMENTARY AND PODCAST ABOUT PERI/MENOPAUSE AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS SEEN THROUGH THE LENS OF DEFIANT GENX MUSICIANS, TRAILBLAZING FEMALE DOCTORS AND OPINIONATED CELEBRITY CULTURE BEARERS ⚡️ GET ON THE LIST: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.menopunks.com⁠⁠⁠ ⚡️CREATED/HOSTED BY ALICIA J.
