You don’t have to be a Hollywood star to relate! “Everyone’s going to go into menopause at some point or another - why shouldn’t we be talking about it?!” As the fabulous The Female Quotient put it, if you’re a woman in or approaching menopause, there might be some fear, shame, and anxiety surrounding it - naturally! But Naomi Watts is right. All women *will* get there so we need to put the topic on the table sooner rather than later. It’s conversations like these that are going to shift the entire culture around menopause and help society approach it with more understanding and empathy. Keep it up. Others 👏 are 👏 listening.

Beyond the stigma- so little research has been done. Most doctors have zero recommendations for women in Perimenopause or menopause. Imagine being told- yeah your body is changing, you have uncomfortable symptoms, your hormone levels are out of whack- but there is almost nothing they can do. What’s worse- we are stigmatized for showing symptoms. Because of male dominated medical researc, we are almost a century behind in researching many women’s health issues and have seriously made life harder for half the population. I am lucky that birth control helps with my perimenopausal hormone levels. However extremists in our government are pushing for even birth control to become illegal. Women like myself use it for pain mitigation and hormone adjustment- not strictly for birth control. The ignorance and under attention to women’s health is appalling. Conversations like the below as well as a push for advanced tech to be applied to women’s health research is encouraging. Philanthropists like Melinda French Gates are making a huge difference in the space- more likeminded efforts please!

In the U.S., symptoms result in $1.8 billion in lost work time annually according to a recent Mayo Clinic study.

Menopause. A word we don't speak about that much and sometimes even take for granted. But it's real; for some it breezes through and for some it comes like a thousand crashing rocks. #Share your stories for #awareness. #menopause #speakup

So let's keep encouraging everyone to be part of the conversation. #pauseandplay2023 #artsandwellbeing #DYCP
