| Quick Hits: Women Facing Menopause are Betrayed by Ignorance and Sexism in the Health Community | 10 Sep 2024 | 00:34:41 | |
Night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, weight gain, headaches, depression, anxiety, dry skin, vaginal atrophy... the list goes on. It's disheartening, isn't it? These are just some of the often debilitating symptoms that accompany peri-menopause and menopause. You'd think such a daunting list would catch the attention of doctors and spur them to find effective solutions. But sadly, that's not what's happening. Instead, many women are being met with ignorance—even sexism—by the very medical professionals they trust, including doctors, functional MDs, nutrition coaches, and so-called hormone "experts." The number of postmenopausal women has only increased over time. In 1998, there were 477 million postmenopausal women worldwide. By 2025, that number is expected to soar to 1.1 billion. At one point, estrogen was the most prescribed medication in North America, helping countless women navigate their menopausal years with greater ease. But then something changed. Misinformation and unfounded fear about hormone replacement therapy spread, leading to widespread misconceptions. In this episode, I dive deep into the study that upended the lives of millions of women. We'll explore how trusted health practitioners have misled us about estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, and why it's crucial that women educate themselves and join me in spreading the word—so no one has to suffer unnecessarily.
