Menopause Vacations

In keeping with Pulverized Concepts' recognition of and concern for the somewhat more than 50% of society that undergoes menopause, we bring to your attention an article that appeared in the Sept. 6, 2022 edition of the Wall Street Journal, "Menopause Vacations Soothe Midlife Change". 

The article, by Andrea Petersen, tells us about the growing effort to help alleviate the inconveniences of the biological transformation through stays at spas where dietary and exercise programs are used to cross the bridge to post adulthood. Most of the women interested in the subject have money to spend and a growing number of entrepreneurs and investors are looking at ways to tap in to those funds.

More information on the subject is available here.

Doctors who specialize in the treatment of menopause problems say there's no scientific evidence that changes in diet actually alleviate the unpleasant symptoms. Dr.Stephanie Faubion, medical director of the North American Menopause Society, says that there's no evidence that dietary supplements help eliminate hot flashes and that exercise doesn't either, although it will improve one's general health. Probably the point would be that eating good food and learning some yoga with other ladies might just be a pleasant experience. 

The total bill for that experience is predicted to be in the neighborhood of $815.5 billion for 2022, according to the Global Wellness Institute.
