What: Halle Berry does an interview with Time magazine about her experience with menopause, and the company she pivoted to focus on better treatment for women (some of the products are questionable). But Berry speaking out gets the need for menopause treatment far greater attention—and she’s taking her message to medical schools next.
Key line: “After I get the bill passed in D.C. for more research and clinical trials, I’m going to the universities and putting pressure on them, too. We need to help them understand why this is important and reimagine their curriculum to make menopause and midlife for women more than one chapter in medical-school textbooks. And this isn’t just for gynecologists. This isn’t bikini medicine. Every doctor—every cardiologist, every neurologist, every general practitioner, every rheumatologist—should understand the effect that a woman’s loss of her hormones does to her body and every single one of her organs.”
