Every woman will experience menopause if she lives long enough— and we will spend decades post-menopause.

We need more funding for menopause research.
We need more ways to access up-to-date menopause providers.
We need to stop telling women to “wait til it gets really bad” before getting care.
We need to tell women that this is not your mother’s menopause journey.
We need women to know you can have the most amazing lifestyle and still have symptoms and it’s not your fault.

We need to tell women that HRT aka MHT is nuanced and individualized and depends on many things— and deserves a conversation with an informed provider.

Most days, I am optimistic and some days like today- it feels challenging to use my voice.

We don’t need a menopause war, we need champions in this space of women’s health more than ever.
