    QUOTES

    “Once menopause hits, a woman’s risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia skyrockets. It's something we have to absolutely talk about with the women we're working with to empower them to reduce these risks.”


    99.8% of women in perimenopause report at least one symptom, but many don’t realize things like mood swings, irritability, or brain fog are directly related to hormonal changes.”


    “You can’t change what you don’t track. Tracking your menopausal symptoms—and seeing how specific interventions like dietary changes, exercise, or hormone therapy improve them—is essential for understanding what works for your body.”


    “We created a free tool called the Menoscale, developed with the British Menopause Society. It helps you track your top 20 menopause symptoms, see where you stand, and measure improvements over time.”
