For years, menopause was whispered about — if it was discussed at all.
Women endured symptoms in silence, often unsupported by healthcare systems or workplaces. Today, thanks to leading experts and advocates, menopause is finally entering the spotlight as part of a larger women’s health and longevity movement.
One of the most influential voices is Dr. Mary Claire Haver, OB/GYN, author, and a key figure in the U.S. menopause awareness movement. In her recent Huberman Lab interview, she emphasized that menopause is not just about symptoms — it’s about protecting long-term health, from heart to brain to bones.
Why This Movement Matters
- Workplace impact: Studies from the Meno-Support Project reveal that menopause significantly affects women’s performance at work, with fatigue, sleep issues, and brain fog leading to lost productivity.
- Health risks: Postmenopausal women face higher risks of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline.
- Social stigma: Silence around menopause has delayed treatment and limited women’s ability to seek support.
By shifting the conversation, we empower women to take control of their health — and society to provide the right structures of support.
What the Science & Policy Say
- Workplace studies: New data show that organizational support reduces absenteeism and improves retention for midlife women.
- Medical perspectives: Hormone therapy, exercise, and nutrition are effective strategies for improving healthspan.
- Cultural change: The menopause movement is about recognizing this stage of life as a transition to strength, not decline.
