About
Menopause Matters
Science-based information and plain talk to help women take charge of their bodies, dispel myths, make more informed decisions and embrace this phase of life. Ideas, resources and personal stories to help you stay informed.
Note from the editor

Women need real information, from trusted sources, to make the most informed decisions possible about their physical and emotional health before, during and after menopause. That’s why we launched Menopause Matters — to help you better understand and manage these changes, and be your best self — however you define it. No myths. No old wives’ tales. Just facts.
