In today's episode, Amy is joined by Simon Salt. Simon is a speaker, writer, certified menopause coach, and creator of The Quiet Transition—a Substack dedicated to helping men understand and support the women in their lives through perimenopause and menopause. Eight years ago, his wife entered perimenopause and spent four years being dismissed by doctors before finally getting a diagnosis. That experience nearly broke their relationship. Instead of walking away, Simon dove into research and discovered there was virtually no information written for men trying to understand what was happening. In this episode, Simon talks about his journey from personalizing his wife's symptoms to learning to listen, why men and women research menopause differently, and what partners actually need from each other during this transition.
