What does the latest research in menopause medicine mean for women navigating midlife?

In this episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. Taniqua Miller (Dr. T), board-certified OB/GYN and Certified Menopause Practitioner, shares three important takeaways from the 2026 Menopause Society Annual Meeting in San Diego.

From the role of lifestyle medicine in managing menopause symptoms to the relationship between hormone therapy and cardiovascular health, Dr. T explores why menopause care requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

She also tackles one of the more complicated conversations in menopause medicine: the use of hormone therapy in women with a history of breast cancer.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why lifestyle medicine matters: The six pillars of lifestyle medicine and how sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, and social connection can support women during menopause.
• The connection between menopause and heart health: How declining estrogen affects cholesterol, what hormone therapy can and cannot do for cardiovascular health, and when coronary artery calcium scoring may help guide treatment decisions.
• Hormone therapy after breast cancer: Why this remains a nuanced conversation, what we know about the risks, and why shared decision-making and collaboration with oncology specialists are essential.

Dr. T also shares why community and connection deserve a greater role in menopause care and why staying current with evolving evidence is so important.

The bottom line? Menopause care is not simply about prescribing hormones. It's about understanding the whole woman, evaluating the evidence, and developing an individualized plan that supports her health and quality of life.
