Who do menopausal women go to for support?
Apr 02, 2022There is a lot of data here and not much of it is good news for the millions of women who are in their menopausal years.
1.5 million women in the UK are at menopause
Over 10% of the population of the US is at menopause - that is the over 20% of the female population
90% of women experience symptoms and nearly 40% of women ask their doctor for help.
40% of women ask their doctor for help can be expressed another way, 60% don't ask their doctor for help.
60% of the 1.5million women at menopause is 900 thousand - 90% of that (the number with symptoms) is 81000, or the better part of a million women in the UK alone who need help but don't ask a doctor.
If they don't ask their doctor for help, who are they going to ask?
I suspect they ask you guys - we know you can help by listening but is there a more structured way in which you could support whilst giving much needed guidance and evidence-based information?
Hormonal Wellness Coaches and Mentors are the way forward and, as the data demonstrates, they are much needed.
