Menopause Asia, Kuala Lumpur (2026)

Meet 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗥 𝗡𝗴, day 3 of .

Marisa is a visual artist, creative entrepreneur and mother who is learning to embrace midlife with curiosity and courage. For her, menopause is time for an overhaul: reset, recalibrate, adjust the sails and chart the course for her best chapter yet.

She looks after her body with stretching for mobility, building muscle strength, hot showers, quality sleep and massages. The best thing about her age is trusting her intuition, spending her energy on what truly matters to her and letting go of perfectionism to fully embrace her own path.

Find Marisa on Marisa R Ng

Follow along all October, and tag a woman who deserves to be seen. This year’s theme is “Chronic Pain at Midlife”.

𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧.

On Saturday, 31 October, Menopause Asia and Temu House are bringing together three women for a conversation about reinventing in midlife. Hosted and moderated by Joanne Ho, founder of Menopause Asia.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐰 represents 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓. A mountaineer in her 50s, she decided there was still a mountain worth attempting, and in 2026 she set out for Everest, a reminder that 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛’𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑦 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒.

𝐑𝐞𝐣𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐦 represents 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏. After nearly three decades building a career, and then a company, in financial empowerment, she made the harder call, closing a chapter deliberately rather than holding on past its time.

𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐮 represents 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓. She changed careers, moved countries, and went through a divorce, several of the biggest upheavals a life can hold, all within the same stretch of years. Her story is about what it takes to rebuild when everything shifts at once.

This event lands during 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, and it’s a reminder of what this season of life is actually about: women deciding, 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠, what they’re starting, stopping, and shifting into next.

Thirty seats only. RM50 per pax, light breakfast included and tea from Rhymba Hills Botanical Infusion 🍃 - Tickets in bio.

Meet 𝗔𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆, the first woman featured in our series.

Aileen is the founder of Write Right Communications and a believer that our best chapters are still ahead. When we asked what menopause means to her, she told us: “Menopause is a transition, not a decline.”

She looks after her body by listening to it, moving when the aches and stiffness show up, and making strength training a priority. The best thing about her age is knowing herself better, with less need to prove and more desire to live with purpose.

Swipe to read more in her own words.

Over the next 31 days we are featuring one midlife woman a day for Menopause Awareness Month. This year’s theme is “Chronic Pain at Midlife”. Follow along, and tag a woman who deserves to be seen.

𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴.

For all of October, which is 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, we’re shining a light on 𝟑𝟏 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 at midlife, one every day. Founders, mothers, mountaineers, artists, corporate figures and mentors, each sharing in her own words what this season means to her, how she looks after her body and the best thing about being the age she is now.

Midlife is often spoken about as something to get through. These women are showing us what it looks like when you are fully seen, and you may recognise a little of yourself in them.

Our first feature goes live tomorrow, 1 October. Follow Menopause Asia so you don’t miss her.

And if there’s a woman in your life who deserves to be seen, tag her below. She might be part of this story too.

Your doctor checks about 4 numbers. Menopause moves at least 8.

Full blood count. Liver and kidney function. Glucose and HbA1c. A basic lipid profile. That’s a standard check-up — the same one you’d get at 25.

It’s not wrong. It’s just built to catch what’s already gone wrong, not what’s shifting right now.

Lipoprotein(a) is genetic and tested once, but it matters more as estrogen’s protective effect on cholesterol fades. Serum insulin moves years before glucose does. hs-CRP tracks inflammation that climbs through the transition. Prolactin gets mistaken for perimenopause symptoms it isn’t actually causing.

None of these sit on a standard panel. All of them sit on ours.

Core, Advanced and Comprehensive — 46 to 57 biomarkers, each paired with a 45-minute consult to walk you through what your results actually mean.

Comment “BIOMARKERS” and we’ll send you the details.

If you’re new here — welcome.

Menopause Asia connects Malaysian women to licensed doctors for personalised perimenopause and menopause care. We’re not a clinic. We’re the bridge between you and the right doctor — and we stay by your side with support after that first appointment too.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

→ Doctor matching with licensed physicians who actually specialise in midlife hormone and metabolic health
→ Curated lab panels — Core, Advanced and Comprehensive — each paired with a 45-minute consult
→ A free discovery call with our founder, Joanne Ho, if you’re not sure where to start

Getting started is simple: comment or DM us what’s going on, get matched with a doctor or the panel that fits where you are, and go from there. No question is too small.

Start here. We’re glad you found us.

This is a retention problem hiding inside a health problem.

Between 40 and 44, roughly 69% of Malaysian women are in the workforce. By 45–49 it’s 59.9%. By 50–54, 52.1%.

Seventeen points, one decade — the same decade the menopausal transition arrives.

We’re not going to claim menopause causes it. Women leave work in midlife for many reasons: elderly parents, grandchildren, redundancy, retirement norms that push women out earlier than men. Menopause is one plausible thread among several.

What’s harder to explain is that nobody in Malaysia has ever measured it. No national costing exists. None. The US estimates its own annual loss in work time at around USD 1.8 billion.

Now look at what this is at a desk. In a study of 1,825 Malaysian women, the symptoms reported most were joint pain, disturbed sleep, brain fog and mood changes.

Read that list as a line manager. It looks exactly like someone who has stopped coping. That’s usually how it gets handled — and it’s often how a capable woman quietly exits at 49.

You don’t need a menopause policy. You need four things that cost almost nothing: name it in your benefits, brief your managers, flex the hours rather than the standards, give people one named contact.

If you run a team, this is worth twenty minutes of your attention.

And if this is your own late forties being described — that’s a consult, not a resignation.

Selamat Hari Malaysia. 🇲🇾

We see you. And we are building something for you.

Selamat Hari Malaysia from the Menopause Asia team. 🧡

Most Malaysian women won’t get hot flushes.

That’s not an opinion — it’s what 1,825 women told researchers in the first major study of menopausal symptoms among multi-ethnic working women in Malaysia, published in Climacteric last year.

What they reported instead: joint pain. Broken sleep. Brain fog. Mood swings. Digestive trouble.

Hot flushes came in at 17.8%.

Sit with that for a second. Nearly every menopause leaflet, advert and stock photo in this country shows a woman fanning herself — an image imported wholesale from Western research. Meanwhile the Malaysian woman with aching knees at 47 gets told it’s arthritis. The one who can’t sleep gets told it’s stress. The one who can’t find her words gets told she’s tired.

They’re all being told the same thing: this isn’t menopause.

The study found something else worth knowing — the symptom picture shifts roughly every five years. So a woman dismissed at 47 for fatigue often gets dismissed again at 57 for something entirely different. Same brush-off, new complaint.

You don’t need a hot flush to qualify. If you’re 45–55 and something has changed, that’s the conversation.

Real Malaysian women. Real questions. 👀

When we ran our first FREE Metabolic Playbook Program, the questions came pouring in — and they were good ones. The kind you wish your doctor had time to actually answer.

A few of our favourites:

“Fasting insulin was mentioned... what is the actual target range?”

“Can high fasting insulin alone indicate insulin resistance?”

“Does going vegan lower visceral fat & blood sugar faster?”

“What’s the actual target for skeletal muscle mass in menopause?”

“Who benefits most from GLP-1’s, and when should they be considered?”

If any of these sound like questions YOU’VE had (but never got a straight answer to) — this program is for you.

Cohort 2 starts 28th September 2026, and it’s FREE for 20 selected participants.

Comment “PLAYBOOK” and we’ll send over the registration link!
