I took it to mean that they surveyed a group of pre-menopausal women (from which they concluded that more women feared it) and also a group of menopausal/post-menopausal women (from which they concluded that the lived experience was declining)

I think it must be impossible to measure whether the lived experience of menopause is increasing or declining - given that, as you say, in the past what are now identified as menopause symptoms would have been seen as something else.

I think what I’m saying indirectly is I don’t believe anything this shill says, and that’s because she is full of it.
 
It's infuriating as they do these flimsy idiotic market research style surveys and they think it's real research like a qualitative study done by academics. I saw a comment on one of their IG posts where a real academic was taking them to task for menowashing and she "well actually our research shows"ed her. I bet the Professor's eyes rolled so far back in her head she fell over.

I bet the Prof though “this is so “above her pay grade” she can’t even understand” 🤣
 
One other thing that bothers me about the Gen-M marketing is the potential for mis-self-diagnosis.

Presumably Gen-M lists such wide a range of menopausal 'signs and symptoms' so as to be relevant to a wide range of product types. While some of the 48 'signs and symptoms' are very likely to be due to menopause, others - such as 'nausea and digestive issues', 'breathing difficulties', 'dizziness' - may well be a sign or symptom of a condition unrelated to menopause.

I'd hope that the marketing would emphasise: 'If you're experiencing one or more of these signs/symptoms, please see your GP to check whether the cause is menopause related'.

I imagine the marketing emphasises how great this product will make you feel / look / smell, and little else.

We're getting tired, as women, of getting marketed to at every stage of our life in a really cynical way. Pregnancy, the baby years, and menopause. Probably some other stages along the way as well. What do men get?

Corporations and influencers are not our friends (I know we know this here).
 
The “M tick” really is meaningless.
I know Menopace vitamins are designed for the menopause.
I didn’t know Nivea shower gel was something which could help any of the 48 symptoms (sweaty?) but I guess we can make some goodwill sales to the meno-brain fog idiots scrambling round a supermarket in a hot flush

Tesco has a filter you can use, feel free to amuse/horrify yourself with some “deep research” (also I’m typing bad due to a migraine incoming so apologies in advance)

There's an excellent gyno called Dr Jen Gunter who is very anti all this. Her stance is that the Menopause should not be pathologised. Its not a disease. It's a normal stage of life. Not all women get any strong symptoms. Of couse many do and they should have access to help from up to date sympathetic GPs and treatments including HRT if appropriate to those symptoms. Or there may be other treatments that might be more appropriate. These people are not helpful and I agree that it could encourage some women not to seek treatment for symptoms which might be something more sinister.

The Money In Menopause Supplements

I created Dr. Jen's Menopause Taming Turmeric Supplements to find out just how much

An excellent article where she rips apart the menopause supplement market.

I'm not surprised many women fear it when the narrative is 'oh god, I was really suffering, then I bought x and was prescribed y, and I'm not suffering so much, but these things are ESSENTIAL otherwise I couldn't function at all'.

Love Jen Gunter, and recommend her book the menopause manifesto. As she says, if you don't consider a six year old girl 'hormone deficient', neither is a 60 year old woman.

OMG, has She Here leaked the latest Skin Rocks (Caroline Hirons) product? That’s not going to go down well with Caroline, and I bet Sali did it on purpose

Especially given She Here included the label...

What in the instahun has she done to herself?!

Was 'mid-life identity crisis' listed as one of the 48 menopause symptoms? 'Cause if not, it should be 😂

Looks the same as the ‘when I met you Balm’

Like the ‘gel cleanser’ is a rip off of the Lisa Eldridge cleanser? It’s the same principle as the beauty pie one, but more similar in texture to the LE one. Also, I tried the moisturiser on the back of my hand instore. The fragrance is very strong and smells like shampoo, and I could still smell it at bedtime 🤢
