Menopause Mastery | 6 New Menopause Studies Every Woman Should Know About | Ep. 293 solocast with Dr. Betty Murray 🌿Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show!

In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray takes a closer look at six recent studies exploring some of the biggest unanswered questions in perimenopause and menopause research.

From the surprising role of the postmenopausal ovary to the global factors associated with early menopause, new nonhormonal approaches to vaginal health, and the disconnect between what women experience and what gets documented in the doctor’s office, these studies reveal just how much there is still to learn.

Dr. Betty also explores why so many women don’t recognize that they’re in perimenopause, why symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, and memory issues may appear long before hot flashes, and what emerging research on CBD and cognitive function could mean for future study.

This episode covers:

* New research into immune activity in postmenopausal ovaries * What a global study reveals about early menopause and socioeconomic factors * A potential nonhormonal approach to vaginal tissue health * The gap between menopause symptoms women discuss online and what clinicians document * Why 1 in 3 women may be uncertain about their reproductive stage * The neurological symptoms of perimenopause that may appear before hot flashes * Emerging research on CBD, estrogen, memory, and the endocannabinoid system * Why greater investment and attention in menopause research matters

This episode is not about chasing headlines or making clinical promises. It’s about looking at the research, understanding its limitations, and asking better questions about where menopause science is heading.

🌿 As always, the goal of Menopause Mastery is to help you better understand the science, recognize where the evidence is strong or still emerging, and stay informed about the future of women’s health.
