SUMMARY:Reimagining menopause: How reporters can reduce the stigma
DESCRIPTION:Half of the world’s population will experience menopause\, yet this time in life is fraught with mystery\, misconceptions\, and a lack of solid information. Although menopause treatment and knowledge can affect healthy aging\, primary care physicians and even many OB/GYNs don’t get the training or support they need to counsel patients and help them navigate what can be a challenging phase of life. \n\n\n\nJoin Liz Seegert\, AHCJ’s Health Beat Leader for Aging\, a certified menopause specialist\, and a journalist who reports frequently on this topic for some myth-busting and guidance on how to report on menopause with sensitivity. You’ll learn about the most useful research on this subject and where the gaps still exist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Seegert is AHCJ’s health beat leader on aging.
