Menopause has long been considered an inevitable part of a woman's lifecycle—but what if it didn't have to be? For most women, the menopausal transition begins in their mid-40s, but medical researchers are looking into various ways of delaying its onset—including by engineering young ovarian support cells and developing drugs that slow ovarian depletion. If successful, it raises the question of whether women need to go through menopause at all. Find out more about clinical trials and the benefits of delaying menopause at the link in bio.

No woman wants to be pregnant in their 50s, we just FINALLY want medical research done to properly manage the symptoms of peri/menopause since it can be a 10 year process that affects every aspect of our health!!

How about just leave us alone? Or better yet support us in every stage of life!? How about stop devaluing us because we age. Menopause isn’t the problem, a youth obsessed society is!

It seems puzzling to me why there is such a strong emphasis on extending the child-bearing phase of a woman’s life. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to invest in developing various modalities to support women as they navigate through menopause? Women experience significant changes during this time, and our focus should be on providing the right resources and support to help them through this natural transition. I believe that empowering women during menopause should take precedence over attempts to prolong their reproductive years.

Most women cannot wait to stop menstruation. Why would scientists want to stop or delay it?

Actually this is a great idea since estrogen protects women from heart attack and keeps the skin more flexible, our bones are affected as well due to menopause, heck I don’t mind my period if that means I’m gonna be healthy

Whose idea was this, please? Please say this isn’t a way to keep women having babies until we die? I don’t mean to sound panicky, but…

I had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy at 47, so I got surgical menopause. For me, it's the best thing I've done as I had PCOS as well as painful cramps every month.

I got through menopause without many symptoms because I was a personal trainer and I was working out with all my clients from 6am to 9pm daily and eating healthy. Dr Christiane Northrop has a great book on menopause.

An Eastern Tropical Pacific killer whale explodes out of the water from our stern wake! This pod of ETPs has developed a unique habit known as “stern wake riding,” where they actively seek out boats moving at a moderate speed just to surf the waves. It’s a learned behavior shared within this specific group, and not something all orcas do. For 99% of orca interactions in California, it’s much better to stay off to the side of the pod at a slow speed and a bit of a distance…but this group actually goes out of its way to target boats that are already moving at higher speeds in order the play in the waves. Our boat did not run on top of them to create this interaction, rather the second they saw us moving away they bolted for our stern! The safest thing to do for the orcas(and for us), is to not do something unpredictable like changing course or speed until the orcas have had their fun and move on. This moment inspired a deeper dive on my YouTube channel of this behavior and more, where I explore how orcas across the world have different cultures, behaviors, and even short-lived fads. I connect this to the now infamous orca/sailboat/rudder interactions off Spain’s coast, and explain why those events aren’t “attacks,” but part of a passing behavioral trend within one distinct orca population. I also touch on the harm caused by sensational headlines used in news stories about Killer Whales, and why language matters when it comes to protecting these animals. Watch the full video now on my YouTube!
