In Episode 35, Ren Jones examines the widespread gaps in menopause education among healthcare providers and the resulting consequences for women seeking care. Joined by stories from experts like Dr. Anna Barbieri and insights from leading organizations like the North American Menopause Society, this episode sheds light on the systemic dismissal many women face when addressing menopause-related symptoms.
Ren explores the startling statistics: 45% of women report their symptoms are not taken seriously by their healthcare providers, and over 75% of women endure symptoms without seeking medical advice. The episode also highlights inspiring voices from the field working to improve menopause care and offers actionable advice for women looking to advocate for themselves.
Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to bridge the gap between patient needs and professional care—and feel empowered to tackle this silent epidemic head-on.
