Empowering Conversations Around Menopause
Cooler Moments fosters understanding and confidence among women at midlife, encouraging them to discuss menopausal changes openly.
Introducing Cooler Moments
Astellas Pharma US, Inc. has revealed the exciting launch of Cooler Moments, an initiative that aims to equip women with the knowledge necessary to address moderate to severe menopausal hot flashes and night sweats.
Dr. Jen Ashton: Advocacy and Expertise
Partnering with Dr. Jen Ashton, a recognized expert in women's health, Astellas is committed to raising awareness about vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Dr. Ashton, also the Founder of Ajenda, shares her insights and expertise to empower women in their health discussions.
The Impact of Menopausal Symptoms
This initiative highlights the challenges faced by millions of women as they navigate their menopause journey. Hot flashes and night sweats can substantially disrupt daily routines, influencing sleep, mood, and overall well-being.
The Mission of Cooler Moments
Through this initiative, Astellas ignites a dialogue that encourages women to gain confidence in discussing their symptoms with healthcare providers. The goal is to ensure women feel prepared to explore their treatment options.
Educational Video Series from Dr. Ashton
Dr. Ashton will lead an engaging video series designed to clarify myths associated with menopause. This series will blend personal testimonies, like that of Kris, who managed her severe symptoms with VEOZAH™—a groundbreaking, non-hormonal treatment.
Informed Decisions on Treatment Options
It is important to acknowledge that VEOZAH is not for everyone. Dr. Ashton emphasizes the necessity of personalized healthcare conversations to assess viable treatment pathways tailored to individual health needs.
Voices Supporting Women’s Health
Dr. Jen Ashton expressed her enthusiasm about this project, saying, "I'm honored to partner with Astellas to inspire women to discuss their menopause experiences. Every woman deserves to explore all potential treatment routes to find what works for them." This supportive stance from a leading expert fosters openness among women facing similar challenges.
Building Upon Prior Initiatives
Building on its previous endeavors, Astellas continues to champion the discussion on dealing with hot flashes and night sweats. Earlier this year, they collaborated with actress Gloria Reuben, who shared her personal journey with VEOZAH as a viable solution to her VMS.
