Episode 18: Menopause in the Workplace: You Can’t Accommodate Hormone Deficiency

Season #1

Menopause in the Workplace: Accommodations Can’t Fix an Empty Hormone Tank

Most “menopause at work” conversations begin with accommodations—fans, flexibility, policy changes, manager training. Marie Hoäg argues that’s backwards.

Accommodations do not correct hormone deficiency. They can reduce friction, but if estrogen is low enough to impair sleep, cognition, and stress tolerance, the woman will still feel awful—at work and at home.

In this episode, Marie and Maggie break down:

  • Why menopause at work has become an HR movement

  • Why it’s not an employer failure—and why HR can’t fix physiology

  • How estrogen deficiency shows up as brain fog, anxiety, irritability, and reduced productivity

  • Why menopause is the headline, not the beginning (PMS and perimenopause matter)

  • Marie’s definition of adequate hormone restoration (Hormone Sweet Spot™ model)

  • What happens when women finally get enough estrogen

  • What employers can do that’s high-leverage: access to competent hormone care

This Episode Is For:

  • Women whose work performance is suffering because sleep and cognition are failing

  • Women on HRT who are still symptomatic

  • Employers who want real solutions, not theater

  • Self-employed women whose income depends on brain performance

  • Women with PMS/migraines/mood symptoms who suspect hormone deficiency
