Here in the UK 51% of us are biologically female and that proportion of our population will all go through menopause. This can happen due to medical reasons, illness or age. We are embracing these changes and supporting our colleagues to bring awareness for World Menopause Day. At DustScanAQ we are doing this by starting with an open conversation (with cake of course) to debunk some myths, share some facts and answer any and all questions to raise awareness and relinquish taboos. What are you doing to take part today? #worldmenopauseday 

In honour of World Menopause Day, Dr. Krishna Vakharia, a GP and Clinical Director at Patient delves into the emerging 'expert patient movement.' This trend highlights the increasing number of individuals gaining empowerment through tracking symptoms, collecting health data, and seeking education. Discover how women navigating menopause play a significant role in driving this transformation 👉 https://okt.to/WR9kyh

It’s #worldmenopauseday and we want to help make the transition to menopause less lonely and disorienting. So use this code to try Clue Perimenopause for free – and share it with anyone you think needs it (that can be you, or your mom, sister, friend, aunt, neighbor, cousin, colleague – anyone!) Why does tracking your perimenopause experience matter? Because 1 in 3 women with symptoms never get diagnosed, and for 1 in 5 it takes over a year (!) for it to be confirmed by a healthcare provider. It’s (bloody) time that changed. Tracking your symptoms and experiences can empower you with the health knowledge and self-knowledge to get the support you need sooner to better manage your symptoms and perimenopause journey. The more you track, the more you know! To try Clue Perimenopause mode for one month for free: 1.

Hey everyone, let’s talk about menopause! Knowing the common symptoms of menopause is key. It can be a confusing time with a lot of myths floating around. But remember, every woman experiences menopause differently. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The important thing is to find what works best for YOU. Educate yourself on the symptoms and empower yourself with knowledge. Surround yourself with a supportive community – friends, family, healthcare professionals. Having the right people around you can make a world of difference. Menopause is a natural transition, and with the right information and support, you can navigate it with confidence and grace. It’s the start of a whole new chapter, and you can absolutely thrive in this next phase of life! #menopauseeducation #supportivecommunity #menopausehealth #naturaltransition #confidentwomen #menopausewellness #newchapter #healthyaging
