In this episode you will discover: 

• Why menopause is such an important time in a woman's life to pay attention to her health care
• Why telemedicine is perfect for menopause care
• Why millennial demand for personalized reproductive services will continue as they move into their 40-50s and what that means for workplaces

Key Takeaways: 

• Menopause is not a disease, it’s a natural phase of life and it impacts the quality of life for many women. They need to find resources so that they could find relief sooner. 
• Hormone therapy is a real savior for many women who qualify for it, but the process of understanding the decision to go for it or not involves continuous patient-provider conversations. 
• Alleviating the symptoms of menopause would mean determining a solution that’s specific for the individual as not every woman experiences the same symptoms. There must also be lifestyle changes. Menopause is an uncomfortable topic for most people and that’s why telehealth is perfect for it. 
• The trend right now regarding menopause is that there’s a lot of curiosity around it both from employees and employers. Everyone’s trying to educate themselves. We must lean hard into those conversations and make healthcare for menopause more accessible to all. 

“Women in their forties and fifties are at the pinnacle of their careers. Let's empower them so that they can continue to be the kinds of leaders that organizations need, and at the same time, just make them feel better and improve the way healthcare is supported for women in their post-reproductive years. - Jill Angelo, CEO of Gennev
