On the 18th October 2023 the world celebrates World Menopause Day. There is a growing body of research that suggests that how a society perceives and responds to menopause, can impact the severity of symptoms that a woman experiences. In societies that embrace aging and view menopause positively, women perceive their symptoms less severely. And in societies where there are negative perceptions or stigmas linked to menopause and aging, women report more severe experiences of their menopause symptoms. This is why it’s so important to smash the stigmas and taboos about menopause, so we can build a “menopositive” society. Did you know that over 10 million South African women are navigating menopause alone and are unsupported? Daniela will be interviewing  Dr Mary Atkinson who eat, sleeps and drinks menopause. Dr Mary Atkinson will focus on the most common questions and challenges that people present her with as a menopause expert and doctor.
