Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet myths, misinformation, and silence continue to leave many women confused about what to expect and how to manage their symptoms. In this episode of Beauty, Health & Wellness, Dr. JoAnn Manson, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and chief of Preventive Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, separates fact from fiction. Dr. Manson explains the differences between perimenopause and menopause, common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and brain fog, and why menopause has historically been misunderstood and undertreated. She also discusses hormone therapy, non-hormonal treatment options, and the importance of having informed conversations with healthcare providers. Menopause is not something women simply have to suffer through. Knowledge, open dialogue, and appropriate care can make a meaningful difference.

Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer than White women, and the disparity is even greater among women under 50. Why does this gap persist? On The Beauty, Health & Wellness Podcast, Dr. Kathie-Ann Joseph, professor of surgery and population health at NYU Langone Health, examines the factors contributing to these disparities, including aggressive forms of breast cancer, barriers to screening, genetic risk, and access to quality healthcare. Dr. Joseph also explains why knowing your family history, discussing earlier screening with your doctor, and advocating for yourself can make a difference. Because early detection matters—and every woman deserves a fighting chance.
