The menopause industry is projected to hit $24.4B by 2030. But are we prioritizing real care—or just creating more confusion?

In this episode of Fempower Health, we break down the biggest challenges in menopause care, from hormone therapy debates to venture-backed telehealth startups and the lack of research in women’s health.
