Welcome to AfterthePause: A Fresh Take on Midlife Women’s Health

Because menopause is not an end...it's a beginning

After the Pause serves the growing health information needs of women like ourselves — busy, smart, inclusive women — who need help navigating the muddy and oft-times confusing transition through menopause and beyond.

As a longtime health journalist, I set out to help you all better understand this unique life phase and our changing health needs.

.

Menopause changes your body, and changes your health status and needs. It’s important for all of us to take care of ourselves, even as we take care of so many others in our lives. That means being informed, and being informed means being proactive and powerful.

Now more than ever, it’s time to:

•     Take a breath.

•     Reassess.

•      Figure out what it all means, this new stage in life.

·      And of course, take time for a little self-care.

There's so much of our lives ahead of us, and the one thing I know for sure is that more than ever we could all use a moment to think about what to do After the Pause.

I hope you agree.
