October is Menopause Awareness Month, and we’re proud to announce that Jay Williamson, D.O. is now a Certified Menopause Society Practitioner! 👏
Dr. Williamson is passionate about making sure his patients feel heard, supported, and empowered through every stage of their menopause journey. He takes the time to truly listen, advocate for individualized care, and educate patients on the many treatment options available to improve their health and overall well-being.
📊 A recent study published in Menopause: The Journal of The Menopause Society, titled “I did not recognize myself”: A mixed methods study to better understand the experiences of menopause in a US workplace by Mallen, Coppola, Shaffer, Minkin, Ward, and Snow, sheds light on the real impact of menopause at work:
•83% of midlife women surveyed reported experiencing menopause symptoms
•Most-reported symptoms affecting work included sleep changes, memory issues, hot flashes, and anxiety
•Symptoms affected stress, concentration, confidence, and patience
•7% took time off work due to symptoms, yet only 9% received any workplace support
The research highlights a major gap in support and education for working women experiencing menopause — and why raising awareness and removing stigma is so critical.
Menopause matters — at work, at home, and everywhere in between. You are not alone in your symptoms — and with compassionate expert care, there is help and hope. 💜
