Women Deserve a 'Menopause Moonshot' and Why Women’s Health is the Public Priority of Our Gen-X Lifetime with Lawyer Jennifer Weiss-Wolf
The midlife wake-up call. Yes, it's 2024—but menopause care is still not considered essential health care. But we are at a tipping point, and the clarion call for a “menopause moonshot” is on. Lawyer, activist, and menstruation activist Jennifer Weiss-Wolf is calling for a bold U.S. public policy agenda to bring a two-pronged approach to tackling menopause as a public health priority. In this week’s show, Jennifer expounds on the five surprising ways our lack of a coherent U.S. menopause policy impacts your overall health and well-being and shares how current laws, tax codes, and even our workplaces and health systems impact access to menopause care. Bonus! Jennifer outlines actionable steps to ensure that science-backed menopause care is available to everyone who needs it.
