Every October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.

Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."

Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.
