We’re living in a time when menopause is more visible than ever. While that visibility is overdue and important, it has also created a wave of overwhelm for women trying to understand what their bodies are doing.   As more women enter midlife, the “menopause market” has exploded. Companies, influencers, wellness brands, and clinics have built entire business models around menopause, creating what many now refer to as a menopause gold rush. There are products, programs, protoc

For years, women searched for answers about menopause and found silence. Dismissal. Fragmented information that didn’t explain what was happening in their bodies. Today, we’re finally seeing menopause discussed openly in medical offices, online communities, and everyday conversations, and that shift is meaningful. Women deserve visibility, language, and support.   At the same time, many women still feel overwhelmed. Alongside this, increased awareness has led to a surge of pr

The more time I spend listening to women in midlife, the more I notice a pattern: So many of us are trying to understand what’s happening in our bodies… while being flooded with advice, opinions, and “solutions” every time we open our phones. Menopause is finally being talked about openly, which is long overdue, but the sheer volume of information can feel like too much. This is what it means to navigate menopause in 2025.

Some creators mean well. Some are sharing personal experience. Some reference “research” or use medical language. Some even have health-related credentials but not  the kind that qualify them to advise women on hormone dosing, timing, or safety. And the truth is: When me

Because the system didn’t prepare providers, and the marketplace rushed into the silence. If you’ve ever sat in an exam room, described your symptoms, and walked out with more questions than answers… If you’ve ever gone home and immediately typed your symptoms into a search bar… If you’ve ever turned to Instagram, TikTok, podcasts, or private Facebook groups to figure out what is happening in your body… I want you to hear this clearly: You did not do anything wrong. You were

There is an uncomfortable truth about the current moment in menopause care: Marketing has stepped into the space where evidence should be.   For decades, menopause received minimal research funding. Providers weren’t trained. Studies were small, inconsistent, and often not representative of diverse women. Guidelines varied. And women were frequently dismissed, minimized, or told to “hang in there.” This created a massive evidence gap. And in that gap,  a gold-rush industry em

Part 1 of a 7-Part Series on Menopause, Money, and the Midlife Truth Women Deserve.   For the first time in history, menopause is everywhere. Podcasts. TikTok. Instagram. Celebrity interviews. Wellness brands. Products you never knew existed. Supplements with bold promises. Influencers with contradicting advice.
