Silence of the Labs: A Decade-Long Quiet about Menopause

I’m incredibly grateful to the The San Francisco Tribune for featuring my insights on the ripple effects of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study and the renewed focus on hormonal health in their recent article. ✨

 The piece explores how the WHI study created over a decade of stagnation in menopausal and andropausal care, leaving millions untreated due to fear and confusion. It also highlights groundbreaking findings from Stanford Medicine, which underscore the universality of aging-related hormonal changes and the need for equitable attention to both menopause and andropause.

 In the article, I discuss the importance of breaking the silence on these “pauses” and advocating for a more holistic, proactive approach to aging and health. Tailored hormonal therapies and systemic reforms are critical to addressing the challenges faced by millions while empowering them to age with agency.

 A heartfelt thank you to the The San Francisco Tribune for shedding light on this important topic and for giving me the opportunity to share my passion for creating solutions that truly improve lives.
