<div class="" data-article-body="true">Gwyneth Paltrow is detailing her approach to protecting bone density in her 50s.“We're gonna talk to our doctor about potential estrogen supplementation,” she <a class="link " href="https://youtu.be/uEi0GQRv8Nk?si=ZhN2pcs_blH3uReA&amp;t=2797" data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:begins;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas">begins</a>. “We're gonna do heavy weights. Lots of heavy weights. ... And we're gonna gag down protein 70 times a day.”Moments later, Paltrow is laughing so hard about a Saturday Night Live sketch she saw that she overheats. Jokes follow about hot flashes — and then the topic ping-pongs again to something else.It’s not the typical Q&amp;A the actress and lifestyle expert has had on her Marty Supreme press tour — Seth Meyers asked her about her <a class="link yahoo-link" href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/movies/articles/gwyneth-paltrow-says-son-reaction-164927323.html" data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:son’s reaction to the love scene;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">son’s reaction to the love scene</a> she did with Timothée Chalamet — but she’s not on just any stop.

She needed a tissue to wipe her face. While belly laughs are had in the episode, what stands out is how it’s a comedy podcast in which <a rel class="link yahoo-link" href="https://health.yahoo.com/wellness/healthy-aging/article/creatine-cardio-and-lifting-weights-what-you-can-learn-from-the-healthy-habits-of-menopause-doctors-090026920.html" data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:female midlife wellness topics;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">female midlife wellness topics</a> — like menopause, hot flashes and bone density — pop up with normalcy and a gentle touch.It’s so gentle that it’s rarely the takeaway from the conversation. Headlines stemming from Paltrow’s appearance are about the <a rel class="link yahoo-link" href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/gwyneth-paltrow-says-doing-tv-200310748.html" data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:inefficiency of Marvel movie productions;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">inefficiency of Marvel movie productions</a>, getting <a rel class="link yahoo-link" href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/gwyneth-paltrow-reveals-she-got-205844755.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG4DuYDaO3gClwRCl1SG9oYg5A6HQHPOo2Jl499tFZPSYrabKVUBvEKTMOPQCW5fwfVOkuxGX2n2NbHMJL1Ww281kVBdiHlzOhyzIBVCXIPSzM84lvVxX1jp-3iN94aTPC6ZfRpSbbXtElbGIEU4g4Vm7doA4kTVTgzkY_DRh2HN" data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:fired from her first job;cpos:7;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">fired from her first job</a> and a <a rel class="link yahoo-link" href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/gwyneth-paltrow-makes-ex-ben-090000882.html" data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:reference to long-ago ex Ben Affleck;cpos:8;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">reference to long-ago ex Ben Affleck</a>. But a seed is planted. Poehler threads these topics into normal banter in a breezy way. They’re there, sandwiched between a question about what TV show Paltrow watches in bed and how she takes her coffee.That understated approach is why Good Hang lands the way it does. In a media landscape that tends to either sidestep women’s aging or turn it into a product, Poehler doesn’t position menopause, midlife or wellness as topics to be solved or sold. They’re folded into conversations about work, routines and friendship and are less revelations than observations about life.Listeners of all types come for Poehler, the laughs and the famous guests. They stay, often without realizing it, for candid talk about midlife — or life at two-thirds the way through, which is where Poehler says she technically is.Poehler and actress <a rel class="link yahoo-link" href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/article/at-6-feet-tall-kristen-johnston-is-not-going-to-play-the-leading-lady-against-tom-cruise-shes-stopped-trying-to-make-herself-smaller-100026704.html" data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" data-ylk="slk:Kristen Johnston;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;">Kristen Johnston</a> noted that their boomer mothers <a class="link " href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO_2gCAEuUD/" data-i13n="cpos:10;pos:1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:never spoke the M-word;cpos:10;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas">never spoke the M-word</a> aloud.

It’s a natural state of the human body at a certain stage. It’s an adjustment. … It’s about learning how to live with it,” or working with your doctor to treat any symptoms that are unbearable.After all, “the reality is women spend 40% of their life in menopause,” Adamian says. “You can’t be sad or mad about it. It’s part of life. … So let's be aware and educate ourselves.”<a class="link " href="https://nyulangone.org/doctors/1124045802/samantha-m-dunham" data-i13n="slk:Dr. Samantha M.

We laugh with her, and it feels like no one has to go it alone."Not everything Poehler discusses regarding aging is specifically related to women.

From the start, she said she wasn’t interested in telling listeners how to be better.“When we were thinking about this podcast, we thought: Guys get to just goof around and have fun and [it’s] straight comedy escapism,” she <a class="link " href="https://youtu.be/lXpsfq4wx70?si=1l24Urh5SnbSXlzQ&amp;t=2087" data-i13n="cpos:22;pos:1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:said;cpos:22;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas">said</a> while talking to Fey during the premiere episode. “Our stuff has to be … about menopause.”What she’s crafted instead is a space where those conversations can exist without becoming the point. Aging isn’t the headline — it’s just part of the hang.</div>
