Menopause is not just a personal journey for women; it profoundly shapes their professional lives too. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mache, a distinguished expert in women's health, as he uncovers the transformational effects of menopause in the workplace. We delve into how menopause can affect productivity and organizational dynamics, with statistics revealing that nearly 10% of women may leave their jobs due to its symptoms.

Dr. Mache emphasizes that menopause starts earlier than most realize and that the associated challenges can significantly hinder career advancement for many women. He discusses how a lack of understanding and support in workplaces often leads to presenteeism—employees are there physically but not mentally engaged, leading to a loss of productivity, increased stress, and even changes in career paths.

This eye-opening conversation explores solutions and insights, highlighting the importance of advocacy and awareness. Dr. Mache encourages both women and organizations to engage in discussions about menopause openly, breaking the taboo surrounding it. He advocates for actionable strategies to transform workplace culture, ensuring women not only survive but thrive during this significant life transition.

Join us as we unpack the connection between menopause and workplace wellness, and discover how awareness and understanding can lead to healthier outcomes for all.

Dr. Mache Seibel is a nationally renowned women’s wellness and menopause expert. When his wife entered early menopause after surgery—just months after a flawed study linked estrogen to breast cancer—he was determined to uncover the truth.

A former leading fertility expert, Dr. Mache shifted his focus to estrogen and menopause. He’s passionate about helping professional women take back control of their health, work, and relationships. His philosophy: care for the SUM of you, not just SOME of you™.

His books, The Estrogen Window and The Estrogen Fix, explore the best timing for estrogen therapy to reduce disease risk and ease symptoms. His latest, Working Through Menopause, addresses menopause’s impact on women, businesses, and the bottom line—and what to do about it.
