Dr. Betty Murray discusses the Chronic Conditions Research Fund's work on non-pharmaceutical, mind-body approaches for complex chronic conditions. She explores whether these methods might help women going through perimenopause, a transition affecting roughly half the global population.
The Chronic Conditions Research Fund aims to expand access to care that does provide people, you know, the opportunity to go beyond just the pharmaceutical medication kind of approach to different chronic conditions, especially because chronic conditions are known to have various symptoms, multi-symptom, you know, they're complex conditions. And we, it's strange to call perimenopause or menopause a chronic condition. So it's not that it is a condition. It's not that it's an illness or anything or a disorder. It's just that this symptoms are so similar, it came across as, I wonder if this is something that would also, if we're showing results in different symptoms in different conditions, I wonder if this could cross over into the perimenopause transition because, you know, half of the world is going to go through that and it would be great if we had access to additional options to what is already available.
