Top Menopause Advocates in America Team Up with HELLO! And Let’s Talk Menopause to Promote Unity and Strength

The Let’s Talk Menopause ‘menoposyium’ event in Chicago was a gathering of menopause advocates, medical professionals, and women eager to learn more about this pivotal stage in life. The event was opened by Dr. Judith Joseph MD, a board-certified Psychiatrist, who emphasized the importance of sharing knowledge to empower women.

Renowned menopause experts like Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Sharon Malone shared their expertise on hormone therapy and the benefits it offers for menopausal symptoms. They highlighted that starting hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, and it’s never too late to start even in your 90s for bone health.

The event also delved into the psychological aspects of menopause, with experts like Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg and Dr. Pauline Maki addressing issues like cognitive decline and sleep disturbances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and good sleep hygiene were recommended as tools to regain control of anxiety and mood swings.

Intimate symptoms of menopause, such as genitourinary syndrome and sexual dysfunction, were also discussed. Experts emphasized the importance of seeking appropriate medical care for sexual health and destigmatizing these conversations.

Throughout the event, the message of empowerment through knowledge resonated strongly. By sharing stories and expertise, the menopause advocates encouraged women to advocate for their health and embrace their unique journeys through menopause. The event was a testament to the power of education and understanding in navigating this transformative stage of life.
