World Menopause Day - Exposing the Deficiencies of Women's Health Care

Seven percent! According to a survey that was published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, only 7% of doctors surveyed felt prepared to discuss menopause with their patients. What in the world?? Midlife women are suffering and our health care system has completely failed us!

It’s October 18th and it is World Menopause Day. Let’s be honest, we don’t need a freaking day to be concerned about this major life change. You need to understand the current state of affairs in women’s healthcare so you can learn about menopause and become your own best advocate. I’m going to keep exposing the lies and pointing out the deficiencies. It's all today on the Healthy Harmony podcast.

Here are key points to listen for...

• The fantastic article written by Susan Dominus in The New York Times magazine, February 2023. She does a great job. I like how she sums up perimenopause and goes on to describe deficiencies in our system.

• The powerful statement made by Professor Rebecca Thurston "...we have a high cultural tolerance for women's suffering. It's not regarded as important!"

• Crucial facts from the Women's Health Initiative study that is affecting women's health care to this day.

• How we should have different doctors to care for us in our different phases of life. Just my opinion. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

This is all about women’s empowerment. It’s up to you to learn and grow. It’s up to you to teach your daughters how to avoid some of the misery that you have experienced. But you have to get determined to learn. This is not a “hey, I’ll listen to this podcast and then I’ll know exactly what to do”.

This is not as simple as me just making a recommendation to you about what doc to go to. I wish it were that way!

You have to be your own best advocate and to do that, you need to learn.
