Jen discusses the cultural variations in the understanding of menopause and critiques the term itself, advocating for the use of "climacteric" as a more inclusive term. She emphasizes that menopause is not merely defined by the last period but is a significant life phase that deserves recognition. Highlighting the grandmother hypothesis, she aims to educate listeners about the evolutionary importance of menopause and the need for open conversations surrounding it.
