“Managing Menopause and Mindfulness” with Dr. Fatima Khan
Manage episode 434943578 series 3483730
What has previously been a generally ignored stage in a woman’s life is now coming more and more to the forefront - peri-menopause and menopause, thanks to the committed work of incredible Doctors like Dr. Fatima Khan AKA The Menopause Specialist.
Dr. Khan not only has a profound understanding of the science, and medical cause and effect of menopause, but is also a woman that strongly advocates for this stage of a woman’s life to be more widely understood by society and our community because the ripple effects go well beyond the symptoms.
Statistics such as 1 in 10 women end up leaving their roles in the workforce because their symptoms from menopause become unmanageable, in-turn meaning the representation of women in senior management roles reduce, and the gap between men and women in leadership roles broadens.
There are so many more examples of these ripples effects, and when 50% of the world population will experience this which equates to 1 Billion women in 2025, it’s infuriating that it’s not more acknowledged.
But that being said, whilst Dr. Khan knows all the treatment options and supports women medically, it’s her understanding of what’s required in the holistic aspect that reminds us yet again, it’s taking the time to hit pause - review how you are feeling but also how you are living, for you and in-turn for your health.
