Look, it’s great that Menopause is getting prime time attention, but maybe the person who unleashed Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil on the world of broadcast shouldn’t be hosting the special, you know?

For someone who touted peace and wellness for most of her career, it’s daMning that she hasn’t spoken a word about the current fascist activities of her mentees..
Exactly. I mean I'm all for #Menopause getting more of a spotlight, but the last person I want to hear that from is some billionaire who can afford every medication & treatment, who doesn't have to worry about missing work because of symptoms. Who can disappear into her massive house & sleep. 🙄
I talk about this podcast ALL the time haha-Behind the Bastards actually needed 6 (!!!!) episodes to breakdown what a bastard Oprah really is! 😊 (There are also episodes on the other bastards she saddled us with.)
Criticizing people for taking weight loss drugs (as the lady that once wheeled out a wagon of fat on her show) and then turning around and losing weight on them did me in. Like, why be mean to people?
Promoting Dr Oz, promoting "raspberry ketones," instead of just saying, EAT YOUR VEGETABLES & telling people they'll NEVER outrun a bad diet is just sad AF.
That’s not fair Christina! You should know some of these people are so slick, they had us all! Why single her out for their behavior-millions voted for a diabolical trickster-I blame those who voted him in. You all always circle back to the nearest woman with tint! Just 🛑 is it Megan’s fault too
Might be a bit more directive if it came from women. BlueSky I thought you were it. No refuting , no rebuttal ?? Where are you women you fucking cowards ??
The Behind the Bastards series on her was pretty wild. I knew she'd promoted some awful people but I didn't quite realize the scope of the harm she's caused.
Mary Clare Haver is great for information. She shares studies all the time on TikTok and IG. She wrote a book. She also sells a diet program and supplements, so some ppl dislike her for that. She is not a RD; she did a program at Tulane that is for doctors. I take some things with a grain of salt.
It’s not like the degree to become a RD. It’s a short program at Tulane for med students and medical professionals. Doctors get little to no nutrition training in med school.
Hopefully, they use science-based evidence. None of this--you can meditate your way out of menopause symptoms. No amount of meditation ended my sweats or helped my joints. I needed my natural hormones back. I can't believe how much my joints ache when I don't have them.
Oprah cultivated, supported, and launched so many anti-scientific fads, so many inane wellness scams, so many dumb products, so many self-hating diets, so many shitty authors, and so so so many entirely manufactured scandals.
Those fuckbois are the last assholes tryna tell me about menopause when they would pass out during a heavy period, cramps, and blood clots. Go away, ye charlatans!
If I gotta pick charlatans, I'd rather have a chiropractor diagnose me with a subluxation and wreck my spine than listen to Dr. Oz and Not-A-Doctor-Phil say, well, anything.

Especially those to fucks!!!!
she can just go away & she will
Yes, but does it produce eggs? 🤣
I’m not blaming her for Trump, but I 100000% think she should be accountable for the things she and her company promoted, full stop.
But it’s sort of frustrating that someone who has promoted some not great health tips and so-called experts is involved.
I need @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to weigh in on the Oprah Menopause special.
