January is Thyroid Awareness Month — a good time to understand a gland whose symptoms so often overlap with menopause.
February is American Heart Month — and heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, with risk shifting at midlife.
September is PCOS Awareness Month — polycystic ovary syndrome is common and often under-diagnosed.
October marks World Menopause Day (18 October) and Menopause Awareness Month — a moment to get clear, honest information about the transition.
