Menopause Unveiled: Dispelling Myths and Finding Solutions for Women's Health

Paris, France – A recent video by Brut. sheds light on the widespread yet often-silenced topic of menopause, revealing that while all women experience it, a significant portion feels ill-prepared. The report features insights from Sophie Kune, an author and coach specializing in menopause, alongside candid street interviews with individuals sharing their perspectives. Many interviewees initially associated menopause with challenging symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings, with one woman stating, "Bouffées de chaleur épouvantables. Sans aucun doute, franchement!" Another interviewee highlighted the societal pressure on young women regarding fertility, noting, "Il y a quand même pas mal de pression aussi sur la fertilité, sur tout ça." Sophie Kune explained that menopause is a natural hormonal deregulation, emphasizing that "20% de femmes qui ont des ménopauses sévères." She also addressed a critical gap in medical knowledge, agreeing with an interviewee's observation that "les médecins ne sont pas formés" on the subject, adding, "ben, malheureusement, elle a raison aussi." Kune stressed the importance of a holistic approach, stating, "Ça s'accompagne." The video also explored solutions, including non-hormonal options. Sérélys, a natural food supplement, was presented as a partner, described as a "complément alimentaire, gage de sérieux, de qualité," and "plébiscité par la majorité de gynécologues." Kune encouraged women to ask questions to health professionals or pharmacists if they have doubts. Ultimately, the video advocates for a more open and informed dialogue around menopause, challenging the notion that it signifies "la fin d'une vie." As one young woman optimistically put it, "Vraiment la cinquantaine!" and Kune concluded, "On ne perd pas la féminité, au contraire, elle se transforme, elle est plus... plus puissante." The report underscores the need for greater awareness and support to navigate this significant life transition positively.
