what it claims

Current medical training programs do not sufficiently prepare healthcare professionals for menopause; this instruction must be made mandatory because the decline in estrogen impacts the entire body (heart, bones, brain) long after the end of the reproductive period.

Mary Claire Haver's assessment regarding the lack of preparation for future practitioners is scientifically supported.

Mary Claire Haver's assessment regarding the lack of preparation for future practitioners is scientifically supported. A questionnaire-based study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings (Kling et al., 2019) confirms that only 6.8% of internal medicine and gynecology residents feel fully equipped to manage this life transition. Physiologically, the fact that estrogen acts well beyond fertility is a fact firmly established by fundamental research: estrogen receptors are present in vessel walls, bone tissue, and the brain, influencing energy and cognitive vitality. Furthermore, the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) agrees in its expert opinions on the urgent need to improve clinical training in the face of this growing need. The creator's call to reform curricula is a legitimate public health plea, entirely consistent with current professional survey data.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: C

Linked to, not proven to cause.

Effect: brain gray matter volume, connectivity, glucose metabolism and amyloid-beta across menopause stages — Multimodal imaging showed stage-specific declines in gray matter volume, connectivity and metabolism specific to endocrine (not chronological) aging, followed by partial post-menopausal recovery/stabilization; more amyloid-beta in peri/post-menopausal APOE-4 carriers vs matched men.
Measured on: midlife women across pre-, peri- and post-menopause (cross-sectional neuroimaging), vs age-matched men

This is cross-sectional imaging, so it captures differences across stages rather than proving what each woman will experience, and the changes appear largely transient. It explains symptoms and motivates healthy habits; it is not a prediction of decline.
