I have already made that transition, luckily, but it is a difficult time.
And look, I'm unbelievably privileged, right?
I can go in and get good health services, but it took me three doctors.
to get the right diagnosis and help with my symptoms.
And I was seeing my friends who were either older or of similar age going through it.
And now I'm hearing about my younger friends in my book club going through it.
And I'm thinking, if all of us are dealing with this, how about everybody, all the women, right?
Women should never be dismissed in terms of their symptoms, right?
So many women say that they went from doctor to doctor and they just felt unseen or unheard.
You know, I have to say, I think even a decade ago, menopause was sort of invisible in society.
It was like, ooh, women just go through it.
Let's not discuss it.
No, no, no.
Come on.
We can not only discuss it, we can make sure that the providers are well-trained with good medical information.
both the OBGYN community, primary care community of doctors, nurses, midwives, mental health professionals.
Let's catch women earlier so they don't end up with all of these symptoms or end up with catastrophic effects, which can also happen after menopause, right, in terms of osteoporosis or heart health.
Well, what I want a woman going through this to know is that in a few years, we will have trained all, all OBGYNs who go through medical school about perimenopause and menopause.
Today, only a third of them are trained.
So we will train all of them.
