Most women will go through menopause in their lifetime. Still, talking openly about it can feel awkward and even taboo.

Right now, state lawmakers are pushing forward legislation to make menopause treatment more accessible and spread awareness about the process. That includes proposed changes to insurance coverage and medical training around menopause care.

This push isn’t just happening in California; one in four states have proposed menopause laws.
