“We need answers for menopause, and why certain diseases like Alzheimer’s hit women more than men,” the First Lady said
Dr. Jill Biden speaks on women’s health during “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” at the Getty Center in Los Angeles on March 25, 2024 The First Lady Jill Biden discussed the Biden administration’s efforts to fundamentally shift how America approaches and funds research on women’s health at an event at the Getty Center on Monday, March 25.
Biden recounted her own frustrating experience navigating menopause and hormone therapy. At first the therapy was strongly recommended to manage her symptoms and then suddenly she was being told it caused breast cancer, she said. A visit to her gynecologist provided little clarity on the best course of action.“Obviously we have to find answers,” she said.
“When you have hot flashes what that does is it keeps you awake at night and when you don’t get proper sleep as you age, both men and women, what does that do? It causes all kinds of physiological problems in your body, which lead to early Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease,” she said.
