Despite affecting roughly half the population, menopause remains under-researched, underfunded and often stigmatized—leaving many without adequate medical guidance or institutional support.
On Tuesday, March 31, Ms. magazine will convene a panel of physicians and policy experts to demystify menopause, addressing everything from symptoms and treatment gaps, to the broader structural changes needed.
The virtual event, "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Menopause, From Symptoms to Systemic Reforms (2026 Edition)," will take place at 5 p.m. PT / 7 CT / 8 ET. Registration is free and open to the public.
The panel will feature:
—Huong Nghiem Eilbeck, M.D., M.P.H., a physician affiliated with Pandia Health and AltaMed Health Services, with additional clinical experience across maternal health and labor medicine. She holds certifications from The Menopause Society and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
—Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, executive director of partnerships and strategy at Ms., executive director of the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center at NYU Law, and a leading voice on menstrual equity. Her forthcoming book, When in Menopause: A User’s Manual and Citizen’s Guide (October 2026), expands her work connecting reproductive health to policy and democratic participation.
—Sophia Yen, M.D., M.P.H., a physician trained at MIT, UCSF and UC Berkeley, and CEO and co-founder of Pandia Health, a birth control delivery company. Yen specializes in adolescent medicine and reproductive health, with a clinical focus that spans contraception, menstrual regulation and broader gynecological care.
