Tamsen Fadal

I felt like I didn't recognize myself

and felt lost.

I had a very hard time concentrating at work and finishing sentences

or remembering information.

About Tamsen Fadal

Tamsen Fadal is a award-winning journalist, menopause advocate, and social media’s “midlife mentor.” After more than three decades as a news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career towards women’s health advocacy.

She’s the best friend helping to guide women through midlife and beyond, acting as a one-stop resource for everything they need to know in order to live their best lives. With a passionate, loyal, social media audience of over 3 million, Tamsen uses her decades in journalism to provide actionable tools from dozens of world-renowned experts on everything from wellness to fashion, which she shares daily, centering the stories of women.

Her candor and relatability have established her as a leading voice in the menopause space with a passionate, loyal, social media audience and regular appearances in media outlets including Oprah Daily, “The Today Show,” The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.

Tamsen is the producer and executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor, Shredding the Silence on Menopause, the first film to address the ignored health crisis caused in large part by flawed reporting on one seminal study in 2002.

From the boardroom to the stage at SXSW to Capitol Hill, she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and foster a work environment where women feel comfortable discussing and managing their midlife health journey.

Equally passionate about health, Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, serves on the national boards of Let’s Talk Menopause and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer after losing her mother to the disease in 1990 and her stepmother in 2022.
