Your most experienced employees may be quietly struggling with symptoms that are treatable. And your benefits plan probably isn't covering it.

Dr. Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, a nationally recognized women's health internist, founder and CEO of Ms. Medicine, and Past President of The Menopause Society, joins Vincent Catalano to examine what untreated menopause actually costs employers — in productivity, retention, and workforce exit — and what a better benefits strategy looks like.

They cover why the traditional insurance-based model is structurally incapable of addressing midlife women's health; how direct care and concierge models are filling the gap; the limits of telemedicine and AI as substitutes for relationship-based care; and what forward-thinking employers are doing differently right now.
