We are the ones to save us—so let’s start with our minds.

Join us for an empowering session with Dona Murphey, MD, PhD, as we explore how to confidently distinguish between normal cognitive changes that accompany aging—especially during the menopause journey—and those that may signal something more serious, like dementia.

You'll learn:
✨ What’s normal vs. what’s concerning when it comes to brain changes
✨ How to prevent or delay the progression of dementia by addressing modifiable risk factors
✨ Why cultural fluency matters in how we understand and manage cognitive health

Whether you're navigating menopause yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

From hot flashes to stress and sleep issues, yoga might offer gentle relief during the menopause journey.

🧘 There are many styles of yoga—some slow and meditative, others more intense—but all focus on mindfulness, stretching, and strength.

A 12-week study with 216 perimenopausal women found that Patanjala and Hatha yoga reduced hot flashes, sweating, and anxiety—more so than regular exercise.

Even better? Yoga is accessible, non-invasive, and adaptable at any stage of life. Whether you're deep into menopause or just beginning the transition, it’s a practice worth exploring.

It’s not just you! 😅

Feel like you’re losing your mind or your thoughts are all scrambled? Brain fog is a real symptom of menopause and one that can be so severe that some women believe they are going through early-stage Alzheimer's. Did you know that menopause can affect the brain as much as your ovaries?

Having symptoms like hot flashes, muscle pain and joint stiffness, loss of libido (sexual desire), or forgetfulness? Though Asian women+ tend to have a less challenging menopause journey than those of other races, that is NOT to say there are no issues or concerns.

Differences emerge when symptoms are studied by ethnic group. For example, Filipino women are noted to have significantly higher severity scores for menopausal symptoms (both physical and emotional/mental health) than Korean women. Chinese and Korean women tend to report more severe forgetfulness symptoms.

“In general, the health care system often does not take women seriously. It could be related to inadequate training in menopause care, systemic racism, bias or incorrect assumptions based on how a person looks or speaks.”

Our Chief Medical Officer and founder, Z. Colette Edwards, MD, MBA, was interviewed recently by Healio on the misconceptions and challenges faced by Black, Hispanic and LGBTQ+ patients during menopause.

A key takeaway? Active listening, ongoing training and a whole-person approach are critical, key components of care.

🏳️‍🌈 The menopause journey doesn’t just happen to straight, cisgender women. It happens to people. Real, diverse, powerful people across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum—and the support available should reflect that.

But here's the truth:
Too many LGBTQIA+ folks face bias, misunderstanding, or even medical gaslighting when seeking menopause care. That’s why LGBTQIA+-trained healthcare providers matter. They understand the unique intersections of identity, hormone needs, and mental health that shape a person's experience.

This blog dives deep into:
✅ Why inclusive menopause care is essential
✅ Where to find affirming, expert providers
✅ Health disparities LGBTQIA+ people face—and how to advocate for better outcomes
✅ And how community, mindset, and visibility can change everything

✨ If you've ever felt unseen in a doctor's office, this one’s for you.
