The menopause world (and midlife women) have been buzzing this week about a recent New York Times article by Susan Dominus entitled “Women Have Been Misled About Menopause.”
This is a truly brilliant article which brings to light a number of incredibly important issues about the lack of menopause education for both physicians and patients. Dominus digs into the details of exactly why we were fed so much misinformation after the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study was stopped prematurely due to fear of cancer and other diseases -which has since turned out to be some of the most inaccurate and misunderstood information ever published. Now over 20 years later, this article paints a picture of not only how this happened, but where we are now and how women‘s menopausal health is still not given nearly the attention that it should. This is a must-read for every woman, and gives great information that you can use to take to your own doctor to advocate for your own health. You will likely be much more educated than your doctor after you listen to this talk!
