Fact vs. Fiction: The Truth About Menopause Supplements & Wellness Trends
About this episode
The episode discusses the truth about menopause supplements and wellness trends with expert insights from Shanley Chien.
There’s no shortage of wellness advice these days, but how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? From menopause supplements to skincare, hair growth, creatine, collagen, and everything in between, it can be hard to separate science from savvy marketing. This week, I’m joined by Shanley Chien, Senior Editor of Health at U.S. News & World Report. With a background in medical research, Shanley specializes in turning complex clinical data into practical, easy-to-understand health advice. She leads the publication’s healthy aging coverage, including its 2025 Healthy Aging Survey, and helps identify the top over-the-counter health products based on expert recommendations, not social media trends. Together, we break down what actually works, which wellness products are worth buying, and how to cut through the marketing hype so you can make more informed decisions for your health. Whether you're wondering if creatine is right for you, which drugstore skincare brands dermatologists trust, or if menopause supplements are truly worth the investment, this conversation will help you shop smarter and focus on what really supports healthy aging.
