🤔 Why does half of humanity over 50 go through a major life transition in silence? How is menopause still taboo in 2025 when it affects millions of women? What if this period could be lived not as fate, but as a new freedom?

🎙️ Dr. Brigitte Letombe digs into these essential questions in this new episode of Healthier Humanity.

👩🏻‍⚕️ A renowned gynecologist and former hospital practitioner at CHU de Lille, Dr. Letombe is a leading voice in women’s health in France. A recognized specialist in menopause and female sexual health, she has spent 40 years supporting women at every stage of life. Author of “Femmes, réveillez-vous,” she champions human-centered medicine—guided by science and by listening to each woman’s specific needs.

🌸 In this episode, she busts myths about this physiological transition that 80% of women experience with treatable symptoms. Far from resignation, Dr. Letombe explains how menopause can be anticipated, understood, and supported with individualized medical care and hormone therapy with a 90% effectiveness rate.

Dr. Letombe walks us through the physiology of perimenopause and menopause, and why this “total inequality between men and women” requires specific care. She addresses the controversy around hormone therapy head-on, explaining how a misinterpreted American study deprived millions of women of effective solutions.

From lifestyle habits to adopt from age 40, to key questions to ask within your family, to the professional impact and sexuality, this conversation offers a complete roadmap to move through this stage with confidence. Dr. Letombe also shares a liberating truth: 25% of women experience menopause as true freedom—and with the right support, this positive experience can be accessible to all.

🩷 An essential conversation for women of any age—and for their loved ones who want to better understand and support this natural life transition.
