For decades, women were underrepresented in medical research, and major gaps in menopause education and care still exist today. So if you’ve reached your late 30s, 40s or 50s and suddenly feel like no one prepared you for what’s happening in your body, you’re far from alone. That’s why we created Minerva Lounge: Midlife Mastery. Every Monday, I host a live workshop designed to give women the education, answers and support they deserve. Comment LOUNGE and I’ll send you the link to join our next live call. #menopausemastery #perimenopause #menopause #menopausesupport #womenshealthadvocate

We’re not asking. We’re demanding. For too long, women have walked into doctors’ offices knowing something is wrong, only to leave feeling dismissed, misunderstood, or without the answers they came for. We’ve been told it’s anxiety. We’ve been told our symptoms are normal. We’ve been told to wait and see. And women deserve better. We deserve a healthcare system that listens when we speak. One that takes our symptoms seriously, gives us the information we need to make informed decisions about our bodies, and recognizes that women’s health deserves deeper research, attention, and investment. But creating that change requires all of us. It requires women continuing to ask questions, advocate for themselves, share their experiences, and support the people working to change the healthcare narrative from the inside out. Because we’re not asking for women’s health to become a priority. We’re demanding it. For ourselves. For our daughters. And for every generation of women coming after us. Follow me for more conversations about women’s health, hormones, longevity, and getting the answers you deserve about your body. #melindagates #menopause #menopausehealth #perimenopause #womenshealth

What women experience during menopause and what actually makes it into their medical records can look VERY different. Researchers compared menopause-related clinical notes from more than 2 million electronic health records with conversations happening in major online menopause forums. The disconnect was striking. Emotional well-being appeared in 77% of online posts compared to just 26% of clinical notes. Brain fog, memory issues and word-finding difficulties appeared nearly 4X more often online than in medical records. And when symptoms aren’t connected back to menopause, women can be left without the context they need to understand what’s happening in their own bodies. This is exactly why I created Minerva Lounge: Midlife Mastery, a free, live workshop every Monday where we break down the science of perimenopause and menopause and answer your questions LIVE.
