October is Menopause Awareness Month, which means there's no better time to get grounded in the basics of what menopause is, what to expect, and how to get the care you deserve.

Whether you're in perimenopause, postmenopause, or just starting to wonder what's ahead, this talk is for anyone looking to learn more about science of what's happening in your body, evidence-based treatment options, and practical guidance on how to navigate a healthcare system that hasn't always made menopause care easy to access.

Join Dr. Lia Gass Rodriguez, Chief Health Officer of Oscar Health and President of Oscar Medical Group and Jannine Versi, CEO and Co-Founder of Elektra Health, and Let’s Talk Menopause for a one-hour Menopause 101 covering:

• What menopause and perimenopause actually are, and what's happening to your hormones throughout the transition
• Common symptoms – from hot flashes and sleep disruption to brain fog, mood changes, and beyond – and why they’re often a critical vital sign to take control of your health
• An overview of treatment options, including menopause hormone therapy (MHT), non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle approaches
• Why menopause care matters far beyond symptom relief – why it matters for heart, bone, brain, and metabolic health
• How to find a knowledgeable menopause provider and what to look for in quality care
• What insurance coverage for menopause care looks like today, and how to advocate for the coverage you deserve

Leave feeling informed, empowered, and equipped with the knowledge to take charge of your menopause journey.

Note: If you're unable to attend live, we will share a video replay of the talk with anyone who has RSVP'd.
