How can we help women thrive in menopause?

Menopause is the natural biological transition that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years and is an inevitable part of ageing that, at any given time, affects a third of the entire female population. Yet it’s a topic that’s overlooked, misunderstood and often treated as taboo. So today we want to ask – how can we help women thrive in menopause?
