Actress Halle Berry made a bold statement about menopause on Capitol Hill, emphasizing the need to raise awareness on the topic. She shared a personal story about a doctor’s reluctance to discuss menopause, highlighting the stigma surrounding it. Berry stressed the importance of normalizing conversations about menopause and providing support for women going through it.
A bipartisan bill called the Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act was introduced, aiming to allocate $275 million for research, awareness, and training for medical professionals on menopause-related care. While some critics question the seriousness of focusing on menopause, Berry and supporters believe it is necessary to address the challenges women face during this stage of life.
