Now, if you're new here, first of all, welcome. But if you've been following me for a while, then you already know how deeply committed I am to changing the conversation around menopause from confusion and silence to clarity and empowerment. And that is exactly why I'm sharing this special episode with you today.
Tafiq Akhir aka Mr. Menopause [00:00:30]:
This is a replay of a powerful conversation I had with Ricky Smith on her show, Faith on Friday Presents. We talked about the truth behind menopause symptoms, the gaps in medical care, and how education, not just for women, but for families, workplaces and communities is the first step to real support and real change. So if you're feeling scared, confused, or just unsure about what is happening in your body during midlife, this episode is for you. Whether it is the hot flashes, the mood swings, the weight gain, or symptoms that no one ever told you were even connected to menopause, you're not alone. And more importantly, you don't have to stay in the dark. So grab a notebook, get comfortable, and let's take the first step towards understanding what your body is going through and what you can do about it. Please enjoy my interview on Faith on Friday Presents and Welcome to the Mr. Menopause Show.
Ricky Smith [00:01:37]:
Hello, everybody. I'm Ricky Smith. Welcome to Faith on Friday Presents. At Faith on Friday Presents, we're all about highlighting inspiring people, engaging topics and small businesses. All right, y', all, this is going to be interesting because it's only for a certain group of people, and I'll let you figure it out. So the night sweats, the mood swings, the weight gain, the hair loss, the drama of it all, why does this happen? When does it stop? And why does it get started in the first place? What are we talking about today, y'? All? It's menopause. I know, right? But we're going to talk to somebody who's going to give us some insight, some great suggestions, and just some random information that we need. Everybody, please say hello to Tafiq Akir.
Ricky Smith [00:02:29]:
Hello, Tafiq. How are you?
Tafiq Akhir [00:02:31]:
Hey, Ricky, how are you?
Ricky Smith [00:02:33]:
I'm doing well. First of all, did I say your name correctly?
Tafiq Akhir [00:02:35]:
You absolutely did. Bravo.
Ricky Smith [00:02:38]:
Yeah. Hey, taking the win. Taking the win. I had to practice, so, you know, Tabik, thank you so much for being here. This is going to be a very interesting conversation and it's going to be more interesting because you may not have noticed, but you're not a woman. We'll get into that. Tabik, before we get started, tell us a little bit about yourself and where you're located.
Tafiq Akhir [00:03:01]:
Yes. So my name is Tawfika Kir. I have worked in health and fitness for 24 years. I've specialized in women's health for 20 years. And for the last 10 and a half years, I've specialized in menopause health and healthy aging, specifically for women as well. And I am located in Los Angeles, California. California.
Ricky Smith [00:03:21]:
Very nice. Very nice. I. I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, and we talked a little bit aboard before about how we got here, where we are, but we'll get into that later. So menopause, women's health, and you're a guy. I know that sounds very sexist and rude, and I don't mean it to be, but it is a question that I'm sure some of our viewers may have. What do you know about menopause, if you can? Where did you get started on this?
Tafiq Akhir [00:03:48]:
Well, you know, it's really funny when people ask that question, because I actually started doing stuff with private clients initially. And so when I first started getting into health and fitness, like I said over 24 years ago, no matter what gym I went to, no matter where I worked at, for whatever reason, women were just more attracted to my training style. And initially it bothered me. I'm like, why don't guys want to train with me? I don't get it. You know what I mean? But as I taught classes, I would take over someone else's class. They may have had 70% men in their class. In three months, it'd be 90% women. But not only that, it would be more women.
Tafiq Akhir [00:04:25]:
So my classes were not only becoming more female, but they were growing as well. So I just became known as the guy that just intuit. The women would say I would intuitively know what women wanted to do for their bodies.
Ricky Smith [00:04:38]:
Wow.
Tafiq Akhir [00:04:39]:
And so as that went on, women started to ask me for private training. And I don't know if you've ever done private training, but when you practice train privately with someone, it becomes a personal relationship. It's almost like you become like a therapist as well as the coach. And I just started hearing more about these health issues that women were experiencing and things like that. And there was these light bulbs that just kept coming on in my head because I remembered my mom going through many of the same things. And I was like, you know, I'm like, my mom passed Away, mind you, in 94. So women here in 2000 were experiencing the same health issues, and I didn't understand why. And so I started learning more.
Tafiq Akhir [00:05:19]:
And as I learned more, I started learning more about menopause. And then there. There's a thing called metabolic health as well, that anything that happens in your body, health wise, whether it's a heart issue, a stroke, or anything like that, is called a metabolic condition. And so that is what my specialty was before I focused on women's health. But there was a correlation that I found, and I started helping women get rid of their symptoms by focusing on their metabolic health, not on the menopause itself. And so that's how I started just getting more clients that way. And the more information I learned, the more certifications I got. It just became something that I just became really good at and I understood.
Tafiq Akhir [00:06:02]:
And I always say I think it's because. Because of what I saw my mom go through, and I remembered her suffering and not knowing what to do and had no support except for all these medical vacations they kept giving her, which made her more sick, you know, actually. And. And even back then, they didn't even call it menopause. They called it the change. So it was something I had heard of. Right. And so as I'm learning these things, I'm like, all these light bulbs happen, and I'm like, if I had known what I know now, I could have helped my mother.
Tafiq Akhir [00:06:34]:
And she. If she. And there's no doubt in my mind that she would have surpassed. Survived past 52, you know, because of all the health issues that she had. And come to find out that many of the health issues were triggered by her menopause.
Ricky Smith [00:06:47]:
Oh, my God.
Tafiq Akhir [00:06:48]:
Now. But I didn't know that then.
Ricky Smith [00:06:50]:
Sure.
Tafiq Akhir [00:06:50]:
So I kind of wanted to just become like, the advocate that my mom never had. So that's how I started. Started really focusing on the menopause itself. Because even though women are talking about it, I always say, you still got to get educated about it. Right. And that's all I did. When people say, how does a man do it? I got educated.
Ricky Smith [00:07:12]:
Right. Pick up a book.
Tafiq Akhir [00:07:14]:
I got certified. Every certification that comes up, too, I'll go and try a new one as well. Because there's always new information when it comes to women's health in general with research and things like that. So that. That's really how I became what I'm now known as Mr. Menopause.
Ricky Smith [00:07:32]:
Mr. Menopause. I like that so much. You said so many things in there. One of the things that really stuck out to me is that when we need to get educated about menopause now, a lot of us as women, we just naturally assume that, well, it is what it is. You're just going to have to go through it and suck it up and go through it. Is that necessarily true?
Tafiq Akhir [00:07:54]:
It's not true because. And part of that again, goes back to the lack of knowledge. There's a big issue in the medical field. 60 some percent of gynecologists only get a one hour lecture on menopause. 20% said they got nothing on menopause. So your doctors aren't even educated properly in menopause. So in order for the doctor to get educated, they have to go through a certification process just like the one that I did in order to become menopause specialists in their field. There's also a site here in the US Called the Menopause Society, which I'm also a member of, but they actually have a whole like catalog of doctors who are certified in menopause all over the country.
Tafiq Akhir [00:08:39]:
So you can go to their directory is completely free. Look up menopause in your area and find a doctor that specializes in menopause. And don't just assume that your doctor has the knowledge, because many doctors don't. And 60% of gynecologists say that they won't even discuss menopause with their clients because they don't feel comfortable with the lack of education that they have.
Ricky Smith [00:09:02]:
Wow. So then if your doctor's not comfortable talking to you about it, you're not comfortable with it because you don't know what it is half the time anyway. What in the world is going on? So, Tavik, with something going on like that, what are in your experiences, what are some of the misconceptions that women in general and people have about menopause?
Tafiq Akhir [00:09:28]:
Well, one of the biggest ones that I always say, and even like when you said you said it at the top of the show, you said that only a few people understand or need to know about. Well, I think that's one of the biggest, biggest misnomers. Everyone thinks it's a woman's health issue. It is a woman's life issue. It impacts her physically, mentally and emotionally. So that means it's going to affect her home life, her work life, and her social life. Therefore, it's going to impact those people in her life as well. So they need to be educated just as much as she is.
Tafiq Akhir [00:10:01]:
Because being able to have conversations at work, if someone's having mood swings or they're irritable and. And they don't even know why they're irritable. And you have an interaction with someone at work, if that work person doesn't know that you're experiencing menopause and knows the background of menopause, they may be offended. But if they know that information, they can have more empathy, they can be more supportive, and it makes the work culture better. Same with husbands. I don't know how many husbands say that they thought that their wives stopped loving them, not only because of the issues that they've had, but because, like, the lack of sex. And I have to explain to men it's because it hurts. She may not be telling you that it hurts, but vaginal dryness, irritation in the vaginal area is a symptom of menopause because you're losing estrogen.
Tafiq Akhir [00:10:52]:
Estrogen is what provides that lubrication in your vaginal area. So when that's gone, it's painful. So a lot of women say it feels like sandpaper.
Ricky Smith [00:11:01]:
Oh, my gosh.
Tafiq Akhir [00:11:02]:
The husband doesn't know this, and he just thinks that she's pushing him away. She's still embarrassed that has happened. So she's not talking to him. You know, one of my programs, I always say to the women, talk to your husbands. And they all are, like, nervous about it. But my thought process is, you've had children with this man. What do you mean you can't talk to him about menopause?
Ricky Smith [00:11:21]:
That is so interesting.
Tafiq Akhir [00:11:23]:
Yeah, just talk. Because half of the time I hear women say men don't want to know men. Men wouldn't understand. Well, number one, I always say this. If you keep telling men, they won't understand. They're not going to try. That's how men are. You know what I mean?
Ricky Smith [00:11:40]:
Giving away the man.
Tafiq Akhir [00:11:41]:
They just throw the towel in you. Don't. You know this. They'll just, you know. Because a lot of men don't like that type of a confrontation.
Ricky Smith [00:11:47]:
Sure.
Tafiq Akhir [00:11:48]:
And so if it's. But if they're included in the conversation, like, there's so many of these menopause talks. It's rooms full of women. But in the workplace, you need male support if your boss is a male, if HR is men, because they're the ones that can help bring menopause policies into the workplace to help your days better. Right.
Ricky Smith [00:12:08]:
Oh, my God.
Tafiq Akhir [00:12:09]:
To know and understand your husband. Your kids can actually be more sympathetic and empathetic if they understand. There was a woman that was interviewed with her family and her kids thought she Was going crazy.
Ricky Smith [00:12:20]:
Sure.
Tafiq Akhir [00:12:21]:
Didn't know, right? Yeah, but if, but if there's open communication. But again, if you don't know what you're communicating about, what now can you communicate? So you have to be educated, at least the basics. And that's what I was. The basics. Understanding symptoms. Understanding that hot flashes, mood swings and night sweats are 3 of 80 symptoms.
Ricky Smith [00:12:42]:
I'm sorry, you said 3 of 80?
Tafiq Akhir [00:12:46]:
80 now on record there, they say that there's up to 60, but as I said, I've been researching this for 11 years. I personally found up to 80. I'm actually putting out a book at the end of the year called the 80 symptoms of menopause and outlining how they all affect the body. So if you know this information, you're not only are you able to get the proper support, but you' also able to be better prepared. Like, did you know there's three, three steps of menopause, perimenopause?
Ricky Smith [00:13:16]:
I hear the people post menopause. All I hear right now are people getting out pens and paper. Because you said there were 80 symptoms, and I am just so. 80 symptoms plus three stages of menopause. I am learning more about menopause than I probably was ever going to use. But here's my question. What then are some of the symptoms that don't traditionally get the same air time as the big three, if you will?
Tafiq Akhir [00:13:48]:
One, one that I said was vaginal dryness, consistent urinary tract infections, things like that. After 40. Things like that. That happen. Frozen shoulder.
Ricky Smith [00:13:59]:
I'm sorry? Frozen shoulder.
Tafiq Akhir [00:14:01]:
Frozen shoulder. It's a condition that a lot of women over 40 experience. And it's where your shoulder loc up and it's painful to lift your arm even higher than this. And it's usually from some kind of a sports injury. But most of these women aren't playing sports, right? But it's because your joint, and your joint health changes as well during menopause. Teeth change during menopause. Your vocal cords change during menopause. It's because it's a hormone shift.
Tafiq Akhir [00:14:33]:
Estrogen. Estrogen works with every single hormone in your body. So think, think of this. I wait. I use this analogy sometimes because I think that it makes, it makes sense to some people. Think about if you have a group of girlfriends and you all go out, there's always that one girlfriend who's like the mama, right? She makes sure everyone's taken care of, right? She makes sure that everyone's set up. Now imagine you guys are like this for years and years. And then all of a sudden, mama's gone.
Tafiq Akhir [00:15:02]:
Who's keeping the rest of the girls together, Right?
Ricky Smith [00:15:06]:
Yeah.
Tafiq Akhir [00:15:07]:
Some may try and help this one out or that one out. Think of that like if something goes wrong with your liver, the kidneys kick in and help out. So it's kind of like that. It's like other parts of your body try to help out when that estrogen is gone. And this is why there's so many different symptoms. Because if you go into menopause with a thyroid issue, for instance. Actually, I have an example of this. So you go into menopause with a thyroid issue when estrogen is gone, there is a high probability that that thyroid issue is going to get worse or it may change because you're not having the support from estrogen.
Tafiq Akhir [00:15:42]:
I had a woman come to me. She says, my doctor says that he wants to put me on hrt. I'm afraid of it, so I want to try something else first. So it goes back to that metabolic conditioning thing. I always start with metabolic health with anyone. I start with. I don't care what condition you come to me with. So I looked at her symptoms, and she told me.
Tafiq Akhir [00:16:03]:
She said, I have hyperthyroidism on medication for it. Oh, by the way, she was having hot flashes every 30 minutes.
Ricky Smith [00:16:09]:
Who? Goodness. She was about to catch fire.
Tafiq Akhir [00:16:13]:
Yes. And so I looked at her symptoms, and I'm like, well, your symptoms don't show hyperthyroidism. It shows more hypo from what I'm seeing. And I'm like, your adrenals are a little off, which is our stress hormone. So I put. I gave her a program to help manage her stress and things like that. She started having more energy, and I recommended that she go back to her doctor to have her thyroid checked.
Ricky Smith [00:16:37]:
Sure.
Tafiq Akhir [00:16:37]:
Sure enough, her thyroid had changed from hyper to hypo. And guess what a side effect of hypothyroidism is.
Ricky Smith [00:16:45]:
Don't even say hot flashes. My goodness.
Tafiq Akhir [00:16:49]:
They changed her medication. She went from 30 hot flashes every 30. I mean, hot flashes every 30 minutes to no hot flashes at all without having to go on hrt.
Ricky Smith [00:16:59]:
Oh, my goodness.
Tafiq Akhir [00:17:00]:
So. And again, it goes back.
Tafiq Akhir aka Mr. Menopause [00:17:03]:
Her doc.
Tafiq Akhir [00:17:03]:
Her doctor wasn't a menopause specialized doctor. So all he knew was she. She had gone 12 months without. That's another thing. 12 months without a period. She had gone 12 months without a period. She was having problems getting out of bed. She had anxiety.
Tafiq Akhir [00:17:18]:
So she had all the things associated with menopause. But sometimes the solution isn't that direct. You know what I mean? Because I know many women who get on HRT and still have hot flashes. Right. And to me that says that that means to me something else is going on. We need to look at what else is going on. And that's where the missing pieces are. People think medication is the solution for everything.
Tafiq Akhir [00:17:42]:
So when you have the information and the knowledge, a lot of these things can be fixed with proper nutrition, better exercise, better self care as it relates to stress management and just taking care of yourself. I say when you go through menopause, it's your, it's your prerogative to say no to everything. Focus on you.
Ricky Smith [00:18:03]:
Right?
Tafiq Akhir [00:18:04]:
You need to focus on you. And that's what a lot of women. And think about it, it's the perfect time too. Your kids are getting out of the house. You know, you're becoming empty nesters typically around this time. So you can start to focus on you. Because so many women focus on everyone else, whether it's work, caregiving kids or husband, that they put themselves last. And they think that menopause is this thing that they have to just be stoic and suffer through.
Tafiq Akhir [00:18:30]:
And I'm here, you do not. And there are things that you can do if you know what does that. Therapy.
Ricky Smith [00:18:37]:
Yeah.
Tafiq Akhir [00:18:38]:
I mean, many people don't know and we don't.
Ricky Smith [00:18:41]:
And Tavik, you are setting so many women free. They are listening to this right now. They're like, oh my God, how does he know who pulled back the curtain and let him in? And we are so glad that you're here. So with all of the information that's out there, everything that you've studied and been certified on and some of the case studies that you did, what are, I would say what are a few things that women can do right now besides checking your doctor, I mean not checking on him, but checking them on this. What are some things that we can do going forward to find out, to learn more, to even just to speak with our physicians? What can we do now?
Tafiq Akhir [00:19:22]:
I would say the first thing to do is to just ask your doctor to get a metabolic panel. And what the metabolic panel will do is it will see, it will check to see what vitamins levels may be off because a lot of it could be you don't have, you're not getting enough vitamin D, calcium. What's the other? Magnesium omega threes. Those are the four major things that you should include in your diet during menopause. The, the calcium and the vitamin D are primarily also because of the fact that you get bone loss because of the loss of estrogen, a lot of women get osteoporosis after menop. Menopause. Right. And so then that's, that's bone loss when women get the hunched over look and all that.
Tafiq Akhir [00:20:05]:
So you want to prevent that. Right. So you do that by making sure you have the right supplementation. A lot of women went through my program and they, they looked at the vitamins. They went and got their test. They were deficient in all of them.
Ricky Smith [00:20:17]:
Wow.
Tafiq Akhir [00:20:18]:
Most women are deficient in vitamin D, which is, you know, something that you can easily get, but you need to check to see those levels. And once you start filling in those nutrition gaps, I would say the body is an amazing thing. Your body will repair itself if you give it what it needs to repair every seven years. Think of this. Every seven years, every cell in your body is brand new.
Ricky Smith [00:20:43]:
Oh my goodness.
Tafiq Akhir [00:20:44]:
It regenerates itself. Now how the always say this, but how those cells regenerate depends on what you do to your body in order to regenerate good cells or bad cells. Wow. Right. How you're taking care of your body is what's going to. That's what healthy aging is all about. But what do we do when we age? Think about it. We go baby to toddler.
Tafiq Akhir [00:21:07]:
We eat the same food. Different. Sorry. Different food, different activity. Toddler to teenager, different. Teenager to young adult, different. But when we go from young adult to middle age, what does everybody want to do? They want everything they did when they were younger. They don't want to change the way their body is changing.
Ricky Smith [00:21:26]:
Yeah.
Tafiq Akhir [00:21:26]:
Your body is telling you what it needs. If you're stressed, body is telling you you need to be less stressed out. You need things to de stress, right?
Ricky Smith [00:21:34]:
Yeah.
Tafiq Akhir [00:21:34]:
If you're, if you got aches and pains in your bones, your body is telling you stop going to crossfit some boxing. Your, your 52 year old muscles shouldn't be doing the same thing. You're 25.
Ricky Smith [00:21:46]:
Hilarious. Yeah.
Tafiq Akhir [00:21:48]:
So you have to listen to your. But everybody wants to fight the aging process. When you fight things, what happens?
Ricky Smith [00:21:54]:
There's 10.
Tafiq Akhir [00:21:55]:
There's resistance, there's a breakdown. But when you work with things, there's collaboration, there's rejuvenation, there's moving forward, and that's what you should be doing for your body as well. Your body is, it can repair itself if you do what it needs it to.
Ricky Smith [00:22:11]:
Oh my gosh. There's so much information here. I've already gotten some stuff that I know I need to be doing right now. So to speak. If somebody wanted to reach out to you to find out more about you and what you offer or even just finish this conversation, where's the best place for them to find you?
Tafiq Akhir [00:22:28]:
The best place is My website is Mr. Menopause.com. that's M r. Menopause.com.
Ricky Smith [00:22:35]:
Okay. And what will they find out there?
Tafiq Akhir [00:22:37]:
So actually one of the great things, I have a tool on there called the menopause awareness assessment. It's a 20 second assessment, is completely free and it'll tell you where you are on the spectrum of your menopause awareness. And it also gives you options for different tools that I provide. Whether maybe you have really good, good awareness, but maybe you need assistance with putting together your menopause care plan so it'll direct you there. Maybe you need the basic information and it'll direct you to my Menopause made Simple experience, which is a self paced program where you just learn the basics of menopause and then you can also be transferred to just a free webinar just to get more information. Kind of what we're doing here, but just more detail.
Ricky Smith [00:23:21]:
Yeah. Oh my gosh. Gosh. So much information. Don't worry everybody. If you did not get that information, everything is going to be in the description below. Reach out, call him, do the 22nd thing. I know I'm going to.
Ricky Smith [00:23:34]:

Ricky Smith [00:23:57]:
All right, let's do this. All right. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Tafiq Akhir [00:24:03]:
My favorite childhood memory was I got this bike I wanted. It was. It had springs on it and my entire family have come into the state for my birthday party. But I left the party and rode my bike around the block for like hours and hours by myself.
Ricky Smith [00:24:20]:
I love it.
Tafiq Akhir [00:24:21]:
One of my favorite memories as a kid.
Ricky Smith [00:24:23]:
That's so great. What is your favorite kitchen gadget?
Tafiq Akhir [00:24:26]:
It is the, the, not the big food processor, but the mini one. The mini food processor where you can just click it yourself and blend. Oh yeah, it's really easy to chop things up. I make hummus in it all the time. It's super easy.
Ricky Smith [00:24:40]:
Oh, I Like that. What is your favorite advice that you've ever given?
Tafiq Akhir [00:24:45]:
My favorite advice. I'm going to bring it back to the menopause thing. I always say when you know better, you can do better. And as it relates to menopause, you can live better, better.
Ricky Smith [00:24:56]:
Oh my goodness. What is the favorite activity that you've never done?
Tafiq Akhir [00:25:02]:
That I have never done? I've never skied. I've wanted to ski but now I'm afraid of it because of my age. I'm afraid of my bike, break something. But my entire, I've always, when I was little, I just thought it was the coolest thing and I always wanted to ski.
Ricky Smith [00:25:15]:
So snow ski or water ski?
Tafiq Akhir [00:25:17]:
Snow ski.
Ricky Smith [00:25:18]:
Snow ski.
Tafiq Akhir [00:25:18]:
No, I can't swim so I drown.
Ricky Smith [00:25:20]:
So there's so many problems here to dig into where we're not going to get started. And finally to what would you tell your 13 year old self right now?
Tafiq Akhir [00:25:31]:
Believe in yourself sooner.
Ricky Smith [00:25:34]:
Wow, that's huge.
Tafiq Akhir [00:25:39]:

Tafiq Akhir [00:26:02]:
