This is spooky. I am in the midst of writing a research article about disparities in menopause care and research and your post popped up first today. I think you’re right. The interest is absolutely there. Coordination is the issue.

The fact that we’re still citing the SWAN study from 1994(!) and dealing with vague answers about menopause is wild while investments in men’s health have resulted in a great deal of breakthroughs, most notably, a medical solution for ED.

I refuse to believe that researchers can’t find a way to cure hot flashes.

I'm really interested to see where this goes. In my 50's I was diagnosed with a couple of Autoimmune conditions, all of which occur 4-5 times greater in women than men, and most commonly in perimenopause. "Could this be related to hormones?" I asked. "No".

Zero explanation, zero interest.

While I was being told to get my husband to help with the housework (how many assumptions can we unpack in that?!) men with the same condition are given support with a loss of libido.

Seriously?!

So it's great to hear that you're looking to build better funding for female healthcare. I'll be watching those opportunities.
