Today at Ever Talk TV , we're going to talk about women's health after 40 . And if you're like me , there's a lot changing in your body and a lot of questions stirring .
We talk about lots of things with lots of special people on the stage and then we open up for questions and it's an awesome combination . So , pause podcast is here recording from Los Angeles about once a month and we're tackling a big issue , which is women's health . It's a huge issue .
And if you're like me , there's a lot changing in your body and a lot of questions stirring . So I have Deborah parties who has created a pause and she's bringing all these great doctors to talk about women's health . And I'm so excited to have you here in our studio today .
So we have a lot of heavy lifting to do another statistic that I just learned that I'm so upset about and you're gonna help me feel through it . We , we actually talked about this in our last podcast , which is that Johns Hopkins did a study that Forbes did a uh uh article about uh in 2019 just recently that they interviewed um doctors in residency programs and the OBGYN specialty , only 20% of the programs cover menopause . So 80% of these doctors are saying we're not prepared to talk about it So imagine 80% of the Ob Gyn in this country , don't ask you .
Honestly , approaching 40 is difficult for so many reasons as a woman , but I find myself lost like all my friends and there's nowhere to really go and get the answers and there's so many answers we're afraid to ask . There's a horrible statistic that I want to back up with what you just said that 4000 women a day are entering menopause , meaning entering pre menopause per menopause of those people with many studies that they've shown about 19% know what's going on the rest , don't . So how are they gonna ask their partners to support them when they don't know themselves , know the signs of moodiness of a physical change in your body , whether it's lack of sex drive or , or dry vagina , which is a huge issue .
