Menopause conversations center on women. For good reason.

But what about the guy standing next to her?

Joe Warner and Rob Kemp wrote Burning Up, Frozen Out — the first real guide to perimenopause written for men. Not about fixing her. About understanding what's happening and showing up anyway.

We talk about why men are so in the dark on this. What actually helps versus what just feels helpful. And why this works better as a team sport.

In this episode:

The stereotypes that make menopause a no-go topic at home
Why communication breaks down exactly when you need it most
Small, low-effort ways men can actually support their partner
Men have their own midlife hormonal shifts too — sleep, stress, food, fitness
Why "support" means listening, not solving
