October is Menopause Awareness Month and WeightWatchers is helping support women’s health and wellbeing

October is Menopause Awareness Month to help shine a light on an important stage of women’s lives that is too often overlooked or misunderstood.

This annual event is dedicated to breaking the taboo around menopause, raising awareness of symptoms and support options, and promoting better health and wellbeing for women everywhere.

Menopause Awareness Month aims to change that by fostering open conversations and encouraging women to seek the help and resources they deserve.

The month culminates in World Menopause Day on October 18th, a global event that focuses on a different theme each year, such as hormone therapy, mental health, or lifestyle medicine, to highlight specific aspects of menopause care and education.
