Menopause Spotlight
World Menopause Day
October 18 marks World Menopause Day, a globally recognized occasion to raise awareness about menopause, break down stigma, and emphasize the importance of support and understanding. The 2025 theme is Lifestyle Medicine, which highlights how everyday choices, such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connection, can play a powerful role in menopausal health.
Lifestyle interventions are increasingly supported by evidence: for example, studies show they can help reduce vasomotor symptoms, improve sleep and mental well-being, support healthy weight, and reduce risks of chronic conditions like osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
This World Menopause Day, let’s spotlight the ways in which empowering women with informed, lifestyle-based strategies can help them not just manage symptoms, but thrive during the transition and beyond.

Common Menopause Symptoms
Menopause can bring a mix of physical and emotional changes — from hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep issues to mood swings, brain fog, and vaginal dryness. Every woman’s experience is unique, but understanding the symptoms is the first step toward finding relief.
Finding Relief from Menopause Symptoms
Menopause can bring hot flashes, sleep changes, mood shifts, and more—but you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. There are many safe and effective ways to manage symptoms, from hormone therapy to non-hormonal options, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.
Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT)
MHT helps restore hormone balance to ease symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes — and can also support bone and heart health.
It’s available in tablets, patches, gels, and creams, allowing treatment to be tailored to your individual needs.
