Lisa Taylor-Swanson, PhD, explains how including Indigenous and Hispanic women in conversations around menopause care helps fine-tune interventions.

Despite social media frenzy, there is limited evidence around testosterone’s impact on muscle, mood, and other menopausal symptoms.

New data reinforce elinzanetant’s safety, efficacy, and ability to improve sleep disturbances in menopausal women, independent of vasomotor symptom relief.

Early and lifelong trauma can intensify menopause symptoms and accelerate cardiovascular and brain aging, according to research.

Preclinical data suggest a possible synergistic interaction between estrogen and GLP-1 signaling, explains Regina Castaneda, MD.

US safety data show that elinzanetant caused few adverse events and no new liver-related concerns in women, James Simon, MD, explains.

Hormonal shifts drive fat redistribution, muscle loss, and bone decline—all risk factors for cardiovascular disease in women, says Brooke Aggarwal, EdD.

Treating vasomotor symptoms, sleep disturbance, and mood disorders can remove barriers to weight loss for women during menopause, experts say.

Which hormonal contraceptives are still safe, when should women stop using them, and what other benefits do they offer during the menopause transition?

Elinzanetant offers a promising alternative to hormone therapy for women seeking relief from menopause symptoms, said JoAnn V. Pinkerton, MD.

Different cultural, linguistic, and systemic barriers could impact how Indigenous and Hispanic women access menopause care, said Lisa Taylor-Swanson, PhD.

Can women feel relief from tinnitus and burning mouth syndrome during perimenopause and menopause?

Assessing all available nonhormonal and hormonal therapies for vasomotor symptoms helps empower women to make informed decisions, said Lee Shulman, MD.

Experts also explained how hormone therapy can benefit women managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension on top of their menopause.

Researchers will present new findings on how menopause affects cardiovascular, brain, metabolic, and digestive health.
