💛 World Menopause Day 2025 💛
This year’s theme, Lifestyle Medicine in Menopause Care, highlights the convincing evidence that lifestyle medicine plays a vital role in supporting health and wellbeing during and after menopause.
One of the six key areas explored in the IMS White Paper, The Role of Lifestyle Medicine in Menopausal Health: A Review of Non-Pharmacologic Interventions (2025), is Mental Wellbeing, Stress and Menopause.
🧠 Midlife can be a demanding and stressful time - balancing work, family, and health while navigating the physical and emotional shifts of menopause. High stress levels can worsen symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and disrupted sleep, affecting quality of life and overall wellbeing.
Evidence shows that supporting mental wellbeing during menopause can ease symptoms, protect long-term health, and enhance resilience. Approaches such as mindfulness, relaxation, and cognitive-based therapies are effective, while digital tools, wearable devices, and creative practices offer accessible, personalised ways to manage stress.
continues to advocate for inclusive, evidence-based, and accessible menopause care - supporting all women, regardless of geography, ethnicity, or socio-economic background, have access to the information and care they need.
