About time!

It's about time menopause starts getting the attention it deserves 👏

Beginning in 2026, the National Health Service in England will now include menopause screening in routine health checks for women aged 40 to 74. It’s a big, yet long overdue, win for women’s healthcare in the .

For years, menopause has been treated like a personal problem, not a public health priority. This shift finally recognizes what women have been saying all along: we deserve healthcare that sees all of us, at every stage. As Health Secretary Wes Streeting said, “Women have been suffering in silence for far too long and haven’t been encouraged to open up about the symptoms they’re experiencing.”

Let this be the start of a new era, where is not minimized, but medically prioritized.

This is one of the most important facts women are never told. Estrogen started within 10 years of menopause, reduces cardiovascular disease, the number one killer of women, yet somehow this isn’t headline news.
Women shouldn’t have to dig for information that could protect their long-term health.

Bitter Truth:

Many people wait for the perfect moment to start living— the moment they feel confident, healed, happy, or “ready.”
But the bitter truth is that this moment rarely arrives on its own.
Life doesn’t pause while you fix yourself.

If you keep waiting to feel better,
you may spend your whole life waiting.
Growth doesn’t always come before action—
sometimes you have to move while you’re hurting, show up while you’re scared, and take steps while you’re uncertain.

Healing isn’t something that magically happens first.
Often, it’s the experience itself— the trying, the moving, the living.. that creates the healing.

The journey is what teaches you strength,
and the act of showing up is what makes you whole again.

So go live your life.
Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it unsure.

Just don’t stop living.
Because sometimes the only way forward
is to walk before you feel ready... 🌿

Good news…we have over 20 years of Menopause & Perimenopause training at Core Vitality Clinic

Actress Halle Berry is calling on women and men to fight for women's rights when it comes to health care and menopause and criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom for vetoing menopause-related legislation in the state.

The Oscar winner — who has become an advocate for menopause care, even launching her own menopause-focused company — spoke at the New York Times DealBook Summit, telling the audience that the Democratic governor has "overlooked women" and should not be elected president in the future as a result.

The bill Berry appeared to be referring to, AB 432, was vetoed by Newsom in October. The legislation sought to expand insurance coverage for menopausal care and provide incentives to doctors who completed continuing medical education courses in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopausal care, according to its text. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/JNabbl

Alzheimer's researchers are focusing on perimenopause, typically occurring in women's early- to mid-40s, as a target for hormone replacement therapy to maintain estrogen levels and possibly protect against dementia decades later. With women developing Alzheimer's at nearly twice the rate of men, emerging research suggests estrogen may play a critical role during the transition to menopause. Lisa Mosconi of Weill Cornell Medicine is leading a $50 million initiative called CARE, analyzing biomarkers from nearly 100 million women. The research gained momentum after the FDA recently lifted its decades-old black-box warning on HRT, potentially enabling broader research into whether hormone therapy offers protection against cognitive decline during what experts call a "critical window of opportunity."
