What Men Need to Know About Menopause with Peter Taglianetti | HFYH #128
In this special episode of Hot for Your Health, Dr. Vonda Wright is joined by her husband, Peter Taglianetti—two-time Stanley Cup Champion, broadcaster, and businessman—for a candid conversation on midlife, menopause, and marriage. Together, they share their personal journey of navigating Vonda’s transition from postpartum directly into perimenopause, a time marked by symptoms such as night sweats, brain fog, anxiety, and physical changes that impacted both partners in unexpected ways. Peter offers the unique perspective of a partner who, like many men, had no prior understanding of menopause. He reflects on the importance of listening, open communication, and staying emotionally invested, while also highlighting the need for men to take on more household responsibility and support lifestyle changes as a family. Together, they emphasize that menopause is not just a “women’s problem,” but a family and social issue that can strain or strengthen relationships depending on awareness and dialogue. From the role of sexual health and vaginal estrogen in preserving intimacy, to bridging generational silence around menopause, this episode delivers practical advice, deep empathy, and a call for broader cultural awareness. ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.
