About the Author
Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and menopause advocate. Known as social media’s midlife mentor, her candor and relatability have established her as a leading voice in the menopause space with a passionate, loyal social media audience of 3+ million.
Tamsen is the creator, producer and co-executive producer of the PBS documentary The M Factor, Shredding the Silence on Menopause which is the first documentary of its kind confronting the neglected menopause crisis, challenging societal and medical shortcomings, and advocating for a revolutionary approach to women’s health. From the boardroom to the SXSW stage to Capitol Hill, she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and fosters a work environment where women feel comfortable discussing and managing their midlife health journey.
After more than three decades as a television news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career towards women’s health advocacy. She’s the best friend guiding women through midlife and beyond, a one-stop resource for everything they need to know to live their best lives. Equally passionate about health, Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), serves on the national board 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.
Her regular appearances in media outlets include Oprah Daily, The Today Show, The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.
Tamsen lives in New York City with her husband, Ira Bernstein. Connect with her–and a welcoming and supportive community–@tamsenfadal.
