CMS Menopause Minutes | Breast Health & Menopause

1 in 8 Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. But did you know there are steps you can take to support your breast health?

In this edition of CMS Menopause Minutes, Dr. Kelsey Mills shares four important ways to take charge of your breast health:

1. Stay active: Prioritize physical activity, build and maintain muscle, and support a healthy body composition.

2. Limit alcohol: Reducing or avoiding alcohol can help lower breast cancer risk.

3. Know your screening options: Mammography screening is available starting at age 40 or 50 in many Canadian provinces and territories, depending on local guidelines and individual risk.

4. Be breast aware: Know what’s normal for you and report any new lumps, skin changes, or nipple discharge to your healthcare provider.

Breast health is an important part of women’s health at midlife and beyond.

At the Canadian Menopause Society, we’re committed to providing women with credible, evidence-based information to support informed health decisions.

Your next step: Check your provincial breast screening recommendations and encourage someone you care about to do the same.

Today, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Susan Goldstein as President of the Canadian Menopause Society.

A family physician, educator and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Dr. Goldstein has spent years working to make evidence-based menopause care more accessible and practical for the clinicians who care for women every day.

Many healthcare professionals will know her as the creator of the Menopause Quick 6 (MQ6), a simple clinical tool developed to help bring meaningful menopause assessment into everyday practice.

Her work reflects something deeply important to the future of menopause care in Canada: knowledge must translate into care.

As awareness of menopause continues to grow, our work must grow with it.

That means continuing to educate healthcare professionals.
Building confidence in primary care.
Creating practical, evidence-based tools.
Supporting multidisciplinary care.
And helping ensure that women across Canada can access informed, individualized menopause care.

Dr. Goldstein brings a wealth of clinical experience, a longstanding commitment to medical education, and a deep understanding of the realities of caring for women in primary care.

We are excited to welcome her leadership as the Canadian Menopause Society continues this important work.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Susan Goldstein, President of the Canadian Menopause Society.

Here’s to the next chapter. ❤️
