Menopause does not occur in a vacuum.
It is shaped by biology — but also by culture, environment, structural inequities, and lived experience across the life course.
In this episode of Midlife: Unmasked, I sit down with Yamnia I. Cortés, PhD, MPH, RN, FAHA, FAAN, director of the CortésMenoLab and a national leader in menopause and cardiovascular health disparities research.
Dr. Cortés’ work bridges sociocultural, behavioral, environmental, and biological science to better understand why midlife health outcomes differ — particularly for Latinas and other marginalized women. We explore:
•
What is often overlooked when we talk about menopause and cardiovascular risk
•
How early life experiences shape menopause symptoms and heart health decades later
•
The critical connection between reproductive aging, sleep, and cognitive decline
•
Culturally grounded, community-engaged interventions that actually work
•
Why menopause must become visible in health policy and workplace conversations
This episode expands The Missing Decade conversation by asking a crucial question:
Who has been missing from the data?
Because menopause equity is cardiovascular equity.
And midlife health is public health.
