Manage episode 383600800 series 3525606
Did you know that women from different ethnic backgrounds experience perimenopause and menopause differently?
Perimenopause and menopause are natural phases in a woman's life that often go unnoticed and unacknowledged. These transitional periods can bring about significant physical and emotional changes, yet they are rarely discussed openly or supported adequately. As a result, many women feel isolated and ashamed, unsure of how to navigate this new chapter in their lives.
In this episode, Amita Sharma, a passionate advocate for women's health, shed light on the shame and taboo surrounding perimenopause and menopause, discussing how these natural transitions are often stigmatized. Our conversation quickly transitions to a topic that is often overlooked: women's health, specifically perimenopause and menopause. We emphasize the need for increased attention to these experiences, particularly in light of cultural differences.
Join us as we break down societal stigmas surrounding women's health, encourage support and understanding, and explore practical ways to improve the lives of women everywhere. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that challenges norms and fosters positive change.
