Navigating Menopause: Insights and Challenges.

Menopause is a phase of life that has been misunderstood and underserved by the medical establishment. As a result, many entrepreneurs, including actress Naomi Watts, are capitalizing on the opportunity to sell products and services to menopausal women. This includes creams, supplements, and conferences like "The New Pause," which aims to help women navigate the confusing labyrinth of medical advice around things like hormone replacement therapy. While the conference did address some serious health and medical issues, there are certainly better, more equitable (and affordable) ways to jump-start and sustain conversations about menopause.
