Pre-Midlife Women's Health & Careers - Study Kickoff
HealthEXP is excited to announce the launch of its new research study on Pre-Midlife Women and their Careers. It was born from the recommendations of last year's Menopause & Women's Careers study. We learned that by the time women figure out they are in Perimenopause it is often too late to avoid derailment of their careers. We want to change that so that we see more gender equity in leadership.
Joining us will be Dr. Gillian Goddard, endocrinologist, menopause expert and author of the Hormone Loop. She will share what we know and don't know about the early stages of Perimenopause (For instance, did you know you can still have a regular period AND be in Perimenopause?). In discussion with our research leader, they will discuss how we might fill in the gap of evidence-backed research with a focus on pre-midlife women.
Join us as we share and discuss our research objectives and protocol outline. We'd love people's feedback and support!
We will review observations from the HealthEXP 2025 study on Menopause and Women's Careers.
Our observations will be share via our first-of-a-kind visual journey map derived from women's lived experiences of menopause in the workplace.
We will introduce our newest research protocol, focused on the life stage before Perimenopause is recognized, just before, during and after it has started.
We will explore how early experiences and symptoms may signal what comes next, shape the experience women have in the workplace, and reveal opportunities for earlier support.
