If men had menopause would we have found an effective cure by now? After listening to the "Diary of a CEO" podcast featuring Dr. Mary Claire Haver, I realised the lack of support for women facing pre-menopause symptoms. Every woman faces menopause, yet support and information are lacking. I'm sharing my story to normalize this experience and help women prepare. Misdiagnosis and frustration marked my pre-menopause journey, highlighting the neglect women face in healthcare. https://lnkd.in/ds-BfZes Let's prioritise women's health and share our stories for change!

Yesterday I had to wear a heart monitor because of risk related to menopause and being a CEO. I’m post menopausal and cardio vascular risks increase significantly. And the cardiac risks for post-menopausal women in leadership roles rockets. In 2023, World Menopause Day highlighted cardiac health as a key risk for and it really hits for women in leadership, boardroom executives, and female founders. Why is this important? Coronary heart disease kills twice as many women in the UK as breast cancer. Stress is a silent killer, significantly impacting cardiac health. The demands of leadership, rapid growth, and investor expectations can lead to immense pressure and stress. Additionally, the risk of cardiac disease and chronic conditions increases significantly in post-menopausal women. So, what can employers especially those leading the wellbeing and leadership development strategy do to help prevent these issues and provide effective solutions? Firstly, check out our blog below from The Menopause Maze And secondly let’s actually start prioritizing the wellbeing of women in leadership! 💪❤️ Please share this message with your board, with your HR, people and wellbeing leaders and help raise awareness for women's cardiac health in the workplace! #HR #menopause #womeninleadership

I started fasting in the last two years for many reasons, spiritual focus, health and longevity. Yes weight loss is an added bonus, but it should never be the end game. Weight training is so good for women as we become older. Take a listen to this podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz - when you get a chance and share, next month is our month... "Dr Mary Claire Haver discusses the importance of education and empowerment for women during menopause. The conversation covers debunking myths about cognitive decline, embracing menopause as a period of strength, and making gradual lifestyle changes. This episode advocates for improved menopause education in medical training and better support for women's unique health needs as they age." https://lnkd.in/d33PZ-bx

Dr. Kavita Desai sat down with Jill Smokler to discuss all things women's health on the She’s Got Issues podcast!

They also touched on supplementation, hormone replacement therapy, whether or not your risk of dementia is dependent on family history, how to reduce your risk of chronic disease, and much more.

"Um, is this the place for a post like this?" Heck. yeah. 📉 The US Economy loses more than $26 billion annually due to menopause's impact on working women; $1.8 billion in lost workdays and $24.8 billion in direct medical expenditures (Mayo Clinic, 2023 study) 🥊 Menopause is the most challenging life stage for women in the workplace (Carrot Fertility, 2022 study). And the symptoms (hot flashes, fatigue, mood disorders, memory problems, etc.) can last for ten years! ❓ 73% of women don't treat their menopause symptoms (Bonafide Health, 2021 study) and unfortunately, most medical schools and residency programs don't provide education about menopause..."just 20% of ob-gyn residency programs provide any kind of menopause training. Mostly, the courses are elective. And nearly 80 percent of medical residents admit that they feel 'barely comfortable' discussing or treating menopause." (AARP, 2018 article) You might be saying "whoa, I had no idea". And you're in the overwhelming majority. What can you do? 📖 Educate yourself. Huberman Lab is a great podcast, period. This episode gives an good overview of menopause/perimenopause. 🔦 Shine a light on this. Listen. Talk. As david mcqueen said "this can be hella uncomfortable but I deem it necessary to sit in that discomfort." 👩💼 Get involved at work and see what you can do to make your workplace "menopause friendly". Sounds silly, right?!?! The British Parliament and British organizations like HSBC UK, Unilever UK and West Ham United are making this a reality widespread across the pond. 📲 Call your congressman and senator, leave a message and tell them you want more funding for menopause research. Only 0.03% of NIH Funding goes towards studying perimenopause/menopause, which spans 1/3 of a woman's life. I'm so appreciative of women leaders like Meg McKeen, Imogen Crump, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Mary Claire Haver, MD, Karen Tang, MD, MPH and so many others for talking about this.

Menopause research is a critical component for improving care. On this week’s Hot Flashes & Cool Topics episode. we speak to Dr. Rebecca Thurston on how menopause affects the brain and body.

FEBRUARY THE MONTH OF L O V E 💘 and that starts with loving yourself Girls. For my Girls in the 40s and beyond - it's time to start loving yourself and this month in our Menopause group we are focusing on Collagen. One thing we can do to help ourself in these menopause years, is add in the collagen that we're losing! Focusing on maintaining our skin elasticity and hydration, helping combat the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging But it's not all about the face and beauty, collagen supports joint health too, which becomes increasingly important as oestrogen declines which may impact bone density and joint function. And let's not forget that February is Heart Health month 💖 Collagen contributes to heart health by supporting the structural integrity of blood vessels and arteries, promoting their elasticity helping with overall cardiovascular function. Including collagen-rich foods or supplements in the diet can contribute to overall well-being and mitigate some of the physical effects associated with menopause.
