Menopause is often talked about as if it’s a universal experience — but the truth is, it’s not the same for every woman. Research shows that women of colour often experience menopause differently, with variations in symptoms, severity, and duration. Yet these differences are rarely acknowledged in medical care, leaving many women without the support they need.
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Omolayo Famuyide, one of the few menopause doctors and specialists who is also a woman of colour. Together, we explore why representation in medicine matters and how the medical system must evolve to provide inclusive and effective care for all women in midlife.
In this episode, we cover:
This episode kicks off Menopause Awareness Month on the podcast, where I’ll be dedicating every conversation to breaking stigma, raising awareness, and giving women the knowledge they deserve about this vital stage of life.
Tune in, share with a friend, and join us in making menopause care more inclusive.
