The menopause conversation is changing—and for the better! What was once a taboo topic is now being embraced by women from all walks of life. Celebrities like Michelle Obama, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah Winfrey are opening up about perimenopause and menopause, helping break down the stigma and creating space for real discussions on women's health. 💪 For brands, this is a golden opportunity. By focusing on products and solutions specifically designed for women in perimenopause and menopause, you can cater to an under-served market eager for self-care, vitality, and beauty that matches their changing needs. Key takeaways for brands: 🌟Targeted Product Development: Craft solutions for symptoms like hormonal changes and nutritional needs. Focus on ingredients like omega-3s and creatine for optimal wellness. 🌟Inclusivity is KEY: Center your brand around empowerment, body positivity, and confidence—celebrate women of all ages and backgrounds. 🌟Be part of the solution: Invest in evidence-based products, collaborate with professionals, and use technology to personalize customer experiences. 🔗Source: https://hubs.ly/Q02_3B_70 Groupe Mutuel EPFL Innovation Park #Tech4Eva #Menopause #Femtech #Womenshealth #Hormonebalance

For centuries, women’s pain has been dismissed, minimized, or blamed on emotions. Today, we call it medical gaslighting — when symptoms are downplayed or attributed to psychological causes instead of being taken seriously.🤔 📉 Studies show: Women with heart attacks are treated later than men, leading to more fatalities. Women with traumatic brain injuries receive less intensive care than men. Diseases like ME/CFS and long COVID are often trivialized as "hysteria." 💬 "Everything is fine." 💬 "You just need to relax." 💬 "Stop whining; you're dramatic." These are just a few examples of the dismissive language women face daily in healthcare. But change is happening: hashtags like #Frauenticket are sparking conversations, shedding light on these injustices, and empowering women to share their stories. 🩺 It’s time for change: Believe women. Listen to their pain. Challenge medical sexism. Read full article: https://hubs.ly/Q02_3Fg50 Groupe Mutuel EPFL Innovation Park #MedicalGaslighting #WomensHealth #Tech4Eva #Femtech #HealthEquity
