Menopause Joint Pain: Estrogen, Hormones & Food Myths
Episode 209
Monday, 5 October, 2026
Joint pain, stiffness and those tin man mornings are some of the most common symptoms of menopause, yet they don't get the same air time as hot flashes and mood swings. With World Menopause Day on October 18 focusing on chronic pain this year, I invited Robyn Kievit, NP, RD, CEDS, MSCP, the first dietitian to become a nurse practitioner, to help me unpack what is going on in our joints and muscles.We talk about why estrogen matters for muscles, joints and connective tissue, why the ups and downs of perimenopause can feel harder than life after menopause, and what the research says about hormone therapy and pain. We also dig into the testosterone hype versus the evidence, what to consider if you are thinking about starting hormones later, and why it is okay if hormones don't work for you.We also put on our dietitian hats, and you'll hear why no single food is inflammatory or anti-inflammatory, why your overall pattern of eating matters more than any one meal, and how to think about the supplements piling up in your cupboard.If your joints and muscles are aching, I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone and more prepared for your next appointment.CONNECT WITH ROBYNWebsite: https://robynkievit.comBeyond Nutrition course for dietitians and clinicians: https://robynkievit.com/course (use code JENN10)JOIN MEJoin Robyn and me live in the Midlife Feast Community for a hormone therapy Q&A on October 14.
