The menopause transition is more than hot flashes—it’s a hormonal rollercoaster that can impact mood and mental health. Research shows women are at higher risk for depression during this time, especially if they’ve had it before, struggle with sleep, anxiety, or big life stressors. The good news? With screening, lifestyle support, therapy, and sometimes hormones or medication, you don’t have to navigate this window of vulnerability alone.

Menopause doesn’t just cause hot flashes—it can hit your bladder and vagina like a stealthy ninja. Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) affects nearly half of peri- and postmenopausal women and is often misdiagnosed as UTIs or IC. Symptoms like vaginal dryness, pain with sex, and urinary urgency stem from estrogen loss—but the good news? GSM is treatable, and low-dose vaginal estrogen is safe and effective.

Menopause affects 100% of women. So why does it get less than 5% of the funding breast cancer does? It’s time to talk about it.
