Nearly half of women in the workforce are navigating perimenopause or menopause, yet misinformation, social media influence, and a rapidly expanding menopause marketplace are increasing demand for care and making it harder than ever to separate evidence-based guidance from hype.
In this episode, Dr. Paula Briggs, a menopause specialist, researcher and former chair of the British Menopause Society, shares the latest developments in menopause and perimenopause care. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, she shares what women need to know when it comes to managing symptoms, when hormone therapy can be beneficial, and how to parse through the advice offered on social media.
The growing demand for menopause care impacts benefits strategies and workforce well-being. This episode looks closely at emerging treatment options, realities and misconceptions about hormones, and how women can best navigate this complex and rapidly evolving care landscape.
