Going into surgical menopause overnight at 40 wreaked havoc with Monica Molenaar’s health, well-being, and marriage. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restored her equilibrium and overall wellness. Now, Monica is an “estrogen activist” working to offer menopause solutions, resources, and community to women in peri, menopause, and beyond as a co-founder of women’s telehealth and pharmacy platform Alloy. We talk hormones, breast cancer, why menopause is inevitable, but suffering is optional, and how to build a menopause support team. Bonus! Monica shares snippets of her expat life, and how a lifelong New Yorker came to find herself launching a company (while tending a garden) in The Netherlands.
