Afterpausing in the news.

At age 58, I have a lot to say about menopause, especially for the post-menopausal woman. The door is open for you to walk through. It’s an opportunity for you to be more informed, become a better self-advocate, and live independently for decades to come.

Thank you NBC News Chicago and Kate Chappell for this amazing opportunity to share all that me and Dr. Dana M. Russo are doing in Chicago with the Chicago Menopause Collective. And thank you to our Board member, Erin Cook for sharing her journey.

I was honored to talk about the critical work the Chicago Menopause Collective is doing alongside my co-founder and friend, Dr. Dana Russo on NBC Chicago with reporter, Kate Chappell.

Three new laws were signed by Governor Pritzker this August, and CMC will play a pivotal role in helping to educate local businesses and women about menopause care through our in-person events, live webinars, and blog. Women in the workplace will have accommodations, health insurance coverage for hormonal and non-hormonal options, and state produced education materials to help them navigate menopause with more confidence.

Our next event is the Chicago Menopause Retreat on October 24th in the West Loop. Head on over the www.Chicago menopause collective.org for details and tickets.

Your hearing health is brain health. 🧠👂

Here’s something most midlife women never hear from their doctor: untreated hearing loss is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for dementia.
I sat down with Dr. Natalie Crossland of NYHD | Hearing, Balance & TinnitusCare to talk about why this matters so much for women in postmenopause and what you can do about it now.

What the research shows:
🔹 The 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia named hearing loss one of the leading risk factors we can actually change. It accounts for an estimated 7% of dementia cases worldwide.

🔹 When the brain strains to hear, it pulls resources away from memory and thinking. Over time, that extra load adds up.

🔹 Hearing loss often leads to pulling back from conversations, gatherings, and friendships. Social isolation is another major dementia risk factor.

Why midlife is the window:
Hearing changes often start quietly in our 40s and 50s. Many women wait 7–10 years before doing anything about it. That’s a decade of extra strain on the brain that we may be able to reduce.

Hearing aids aren’t a sign of getting old. They’re a tool for staying sharp, connected, and fully yourself for decades to come. 💪

Have you had your hearing checked? Tell me in the comments.

Feeling dizzy, off balance, or like the room is spinning?

Your inner ear does more than help you hear. It’s also home to your vestibular system, which keeps you balanced and steady on your feet. And like so many parts of the body, it’s affected by estrogen.

In this week’s episode of Afterpause, audiologist Dr. Natalie Crossland of NYHD | Hearing, Balance & TinnitusCare explains how declining estrogen may be linked to vertigo, dizziness, and balance changes during and after menopause, and why these symptoms are so often overlooked.

Why it matters: balance problems raise the risk of falls, and falls are especially dangerous after menopause, when bone density is declining too.

Afterpausing with testosterone may become easier in the future. It won’t be tomorrow, but the FDA held an all-day public meeting on testosterone use for women.

I started using testosterone 25 years ago- my levels were so low, that of a 90-year old woman. I’ve used different forms over the years, and have been fortunate to work with several providers well versed in dosing. I know that may not be your story.

I hope this reel gets you curious. Whether it’s for your not, education and awareness are the first step in making the best decision for yourself.

The Menopause Care Consult is for you if you want to build a healthcare team that’s going to hear you, and help you thrive in your second act. It’s linked in the profile.
