About this listen

Welcome to The Menopause Disruptor Podcast, formerly, All Things Menopausal! I’m your host, Mary Lee, a compassionate Menopause Doula and Licensed Menopause Champion in partnership with The Menopause Expert Group.

My mission is to challenge outdated narratives around menopause. Leaning into my own personal encounters with misogyny and a serious lack of reliable, current information surrounding hormone health, I realized there are far too many women being dismissed and outright ignored by healthcare professionals. This has to stop!

Menopause is a natural phase of life that deserves to be embraced, not stigmatized. In each episode, I tackle taboo topics and disrupt the status quo on how we think, act, and treat menopause - peri to post.

Join me in these informative conversations, either alone or with credible guest experts, as I dive into real, raw, and relatable discussions surrounding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging. It’s time to reclaim our voices and advocate for our health with confidence.

Midlife should be the best life, and it will be!

  • From Burnout to Community Building: A Family Doctor's Menopause Awakening with Shana Johnston
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode, host Mary Lee is joined by Dr. Shana Johnston, a family physician with over 25 years experience, to discuss the importance of investing in oneself for personal growth and holistic well-being.

    Dr. Johnston has a vast medical background practicing in diverse settings, from rural towns to urban hospitals. Her journey has always been driven by a passion for holistic health and healing, blending traditional medicine with innovative, outside-the-box approaches. After years in a high-pressure, volume-based system, she experienced burnout and took time to prioritize her own health, which inspired her to focus on supporting women wisely through life's many transitions.

    The conversation explores societal stigma surrounding menopause and the limitations of the current healthcare system in effectively serving women. Dr. Johnston shares her own transition from family medicine to building community-based support for women, emphasizing holistic approaches particularly around nurturing energy and well-being.

    Today, Dr. Johnston is developing programs to empower women to embrace their most authentic selves. She created "Connecting in Community" and its online counterpart, "Reclaiming Our Power, Reclaiming Ourselves," which foster healing and connection. After navigating her own challenging menopause experience, she developed "Coming Home to Ourselves at Midlife" and launched the group medical visit "Menopause, Let’s Talk About It."
