St. Paul had a female traveling companion but we never hear about her; women suffering at all times of their lives from menstrual cramps to menopause are told by untrained doctors that it's in their heads, and even when mice are the subjects of medical experiments, they are almost always male. Long accustomed to taking a back seat and suffering in silence, women are increasingly speaking up for better treatment at the hands of medicine. Two of them from different generations, Abby Lorch, a UAlbany student, and Liz Seegert, a long-time health journalist talk about what should be done — and their despair that Health Secretary RFK will do it.Abby Lorch is a 21-year-old UAlbany student graduating with a journalism degree and a law and philosophy minor. She plans to attend Albany Law School starting in fall 2025. She has always been interested in women's issues, and reporting on the university community and the Capital Region has given her insight into how these issues affect her neighbors.Liz Seegert  is an award-winning, freelance journalist with more than 30 years experience writing for magazines, newspapers, radio and TV news, digital, PR, corporate, government, non-profit, and educational institutions. Her work has appeared in national, regional and local consume and trade outlets. She has done numerous fellowships with organizations such as  the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the center for Health Policy and Media Engagement, and the Gerontological Society of America. She is active in the Journalism & Women Symposium and is an instructor at the Empire State College.

Angela is joined by special guest, Zora Benhamou, to examine the multifaceted experiences of menopause, exploring how cultural attitudes and personal stories shape women's journeys through this natural transition. Zora shares her fascinating project of interviewing women from various countries about their menopause experiences, revealing that while symptoms may be universal, perceptions and responses differ significantly across cultures. She also highlights the importance of awareness and education around menopause, discussing common symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, while also addressing the stigma surrounding hormone therapy KEY TAKEAWAYS Menopause is a universal experience, but cultural attitudes towards it vary significantly. In some countries, women are more open to discussing their experiences, while in others, there is a stigma that leads to rejection of such conversations. Fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are among the most common symptoms of menopause, often overshadowing hot flashes. Many women are unaware of the full range of menopause symptoms, which can include over 100 different manifestations. The perception of stress plays a crucial role in how women experience menopause. Women in less stressful environments or with a more relaxed attitude tend to cope better with menopausal symptoms, often attributing their resilience to their overall life perspective. There is a lack of awareness and acceptance of hormone therapy in many cultures. Many women are hesitant to consider hormone replacement therapy due to fears of negative health effects, despite the potential benefits it can offer during menopause. BEST MOMENTS "Menopause happens to everyone. No one's getting away with it. We all experience very, very similar symptoms. However, the attitudes are different." "I always say that I'm most worried about the asymptomatic woman, because she's the one who's not going to be aware of what's going on under the hood." "It's incredible that we've never been told... that a woman will lose her periods somewhere between 45 and 55." "Fatigue is something that's big on the list... but I think more than the mood swings would be the sleep."

It is a gift of growing older to have fewer professional commitments. The four different dimensions the 4A Plus Model of positive aging are Wellness, Affiliation, Attitude and Awareness.

Both Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster, are part of the faculty of Human Development and Family Science at Virginia Tech Pamela Teaster is also director of the Virginia Tech Center for Gerontology and on the editorial board of the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect. She is a fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education.

Around 2am on April 6th 2018, a mysterious person walked down a snowy suburban street in Wadsworth, Ohio. At some point, this person came to a stop in front of a modest two story home and then looked around to make sure no one was watching them. Feeling satisfied no one was, this mystery person turned away from the road and walked down the driveway toward the backyard of the property. What they did next was unspeakably cruel... and it was caught on camera.For 100s more stories like this one, check out my YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @MrBallenSPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT:....Main Sources:1.
