Helping Women to Truly Thrive Through Menopause—Not Just Survive It My name is Tafiq Akhir, also known as Mr. Menopause. Menopause Show.
I am a certified and award-winning menopause and healthy aging educator, speaker, best-selling author, and host of The Mr. I know what you might be thinking; why is a man teaching about menopause? For over 20 years, I've specialized in women's health.

Today, I’m honored to be recognized for my contributions to menopause and healthy aging, including being named Menopause Specialist of the Year 2024, and inducted into Marquis' Who's Who In America 2025. I provide clarity, direction, and compassionate solutions that genuinely work. If you're feeling confused, alone, or even afraid of the changes happening to your midlife body; physically, mentally and/or emotionally.

It all started during a Cleveland snowstorm.
My mother stood nearly naked in front of an opened window in the middle of winter storm to escape the heat of an intense hot flash, and that moment stayed with me for decades.
At the time, I didn't understand what she was going through. I just knew she was uncomfortable, restless, and searching for relief that never seemed to come. Years later, while working with my female clients, I began noticing the same struggles repeating. Women were experiencing changes in their energy, mood, weight, sleep, and confidence, often without understanding why.
That's when I began connecting the dots. What I saw my mother endure was the same confusion and frustration that countless women were still facing many decades later. I realized there was a massive gap in education and support around menopause, and I made it my mission to fill it.
That became the foundation for my work as Mr. Menopause, using evidence-based education, awareness, and compassion to help women make menopause make sense.
Menopause is not taboo. It is a transition. And with the right understanding, it can be a time of renewal, strength, and clarity.
