"I'm in menopause, and I had no idea," actress Halle Berry shared during her testimony before the Health and Human Services Committee.

The actress emphasized the need for comprehensive education on menopause, advocating for better training for healthcare professionals to ensure they address this important phase of life with their patients. Berry's passionate plea underscores the necessity for initiatives that promote awareness, support, and resources for women navigating menopause, ultimately aiming to empower them with knowledge and understanding.
