The Menopause Blind Spot: Why Medicine Fails Women at Midlife
HOW SYSTEMIC GAPS IN RESEARCH AND CARE LEAVE WOMEN STRUGGLING FOR ANSWERS
Menopause happens to every woman, yet medicine still treats it like an afterthought. For decades, doctors have ignored, misunderstood, and dismissed the symptoms that come with hormonal changes, leaving women to struggle for answers on their own. I know this firsthand—I had a hysterectomy at 29, was postmenopausal by 33, and have spent years dealing with the effects of reproductive illness. '
My story isn’t unique; millions of women are told their symptoms are “just stress” or “a normal part of aging” instead of getting real help. This talk will break down the massive gaps in menopause care, explain why women’s health has been left out of medical research, and give you the permission to take charge of your body, push for better care, and find real solutions. Because menopause isn’t a mystery; it historically just hasn’t been a medical priority.
