Symptoms, Stigmas, and Solutions: Menopause in the Workplace

In a society that disproportionately condemns signs of aging in women, it can be difficult to acknowledge the onset of menopause to oneself, let alone supervisors or coworkers. Moreover, when a woman’s merits as an employee are directly linked to her experience and seniority, this pressure to maintain her youth seemingly contradicts the requirements she needs to continue advancing in her career. In this month’s episode of Worksights, Laura Noble and guest, Dr. Tracy McCubbin, discuss the symptoms of, and stigmas against, women who are undergoing menopause in the workplace. Dr. Tracy McCubbin aids patients across the United States for a variety of health concerns, including hormone balancing, digestive disorders, fertility, autoimmune conditions, and healthy aging, at her private practice, Radiance Functional Medicine, located in Denver, Colorado.
