Menopause is often explained like a one-size-fits-all checklist. But the reality is more layered. For many Black women, symptoms can be more persistent, sleep disruption can be more severe, fibroids and heavy bleeding can shape the entire transition, and care can still fall through predictable gaps.
In this episode, we break down what’s commonly missed and how to walk into your next appointment with clarity and data, not doubt.
In this video:
Why menopause is not linear (it often comes in waves)
What research shows about hot flash/night sweat duration
How stress load and lived context can amplify symptoms
Why fibroids and heavy bleeding need to be part of the conversation
A simple tracker + exact phrases to advocate for care
Bring this to your appointment (say it like this):
“I want symptom relief and a rule-out plan. Here’s my tracker.”
Comment TRACKER and I’ll send you the free download link.”
Quick note: This video is educational and not medical advice. If you have postmenopausal bleeding, severe symptoms, chest pain, fainting, or symptoms that feel urgent, seek medical care.
