FACT: 54% of women leave their health appointments feeling dismissed or disappointed. That number is even higher for Indigenous women and women of colour. The top two reasons for their doctor visit in the first place? Menstration and MENOPAUSE. Source: InHerWords.caMISSION: I am on a mission to change the health outcomes of our health conversations by ensuring you show up for your next doctor's appointment feeling 1) informed 2) confident 3) in the driver's seat of your own health bus.Your health journey is important, and your doctor and other allied health professionals are key members of your team. But none of us were ever taught how to show up for your health appointments.Physicians are scientists, but they are not mind readers. They like data to piece your health story together. And they have taken an oath to work with you to solve health challenges. In order to do their job properly, they need to understand how your issues are impacting your quality of life.Communicating IMPACT is just one of the missing pieces of this puzzle. There is a significant difference between:"Oh you know, I don't sleep the same way I used to."VS."I used to be a good sleeper, but now I wake up at 3 a.m. every day of the week and my sleep deprivation is impacting my work. In fact, I have been missing 1-2 days of work per month and can't continue to have this impact my income."OUR/YOUR PLAN GOING FORWARD: I've created a fill-in-the-blank system for "changing the script" at your next health appointment. Thousands of women in the Menopause Chicks Community have taken it for a test drive, and although we can never guarantee a physician's response, it's working!It's working for treating heavy bleeding...prioritizing vulva &amp; vaginal health...discussing potential benefits of menopause hormone therapy...addressing insomnia...and MORE! Here's one member's feedback:

Shirley Weir introduces herself as a "menopause chick" and is here to remind all of us: we deserve to feel amazing! This is a significant pivot from how most of the world thinks about perimenopause, menopause &amp; postmenopause, and Shirley is leading this important paradigm shift.She is 58 years old, reached menopause at 49, and for the last 12 years has been educating, advocating, and answering thousands of women's health questions via <a href="http://menopausechicks.com/" title="http://menopausechicks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MenopauseChicks.com</a> and its popular private online community, with 58,000 members.Menopause is a biological event that has morphed into a social construct. Media, marketers and even the medical community continues to fill the airwaves with noise about menopause. Yet, more conversations about menopause have not translated to more consumer clarity, or better access to care. In many ways, efforts to crack open the menopause conversation have only perpetuated long-standing myths, misinformation and stereotypes about women’s health.Shirley is a three-time author, a TedX speaker, a media spokesperson, and advocates for more midlife health education in workplaces such as Vichy Laboratoires, Astellas, Organon, Canadian Tire, and The London Stock Exchange. She believes that if we truly want to change the future of women's health, we must change how we talk about it.As an expert in knowledge transfer and a certified peer counsellor, Shirley picks apart the lingo of menopause, explains common misinterpretations for the people who need the information most, and offers "script tips" for how to talk about menopause—at home, at work and in our doctor's appointments!Shirley's vision is for everyone to have access to evidence-based health information in order to navigate perimenopause-to-postmenopause with confidence and ease! And her goal today is for you to walk away from this session thinking, "Hmm... I never thought about menopause that way before!”Learn more at MenopauseChicks.com &amp; MenopauseCommunity.com
