MasterClass has announced “The Magic of Menopause,” a new course featuring Oscar winner Halle Berry and four leading women’s health experts aimed at breaking stigmas around menopause.
“I am so honored to launch the first-ever women’s health class on MasterClass. It’s time we dismantle the culture of silence and shame around this life stage that affects half of the population,” said Berry.
“Every woman, if she’s blessed enough to live long enough, goes through this transition,” Berry added. “Women deserve to navigate menopause with confidence—and that’s why I’ve embarked on my journey at Respin to build out a community around this topic—because I knew that I had to. Partnering with MasterClass is an incredible force multiplier to make sure women understand the basics of menopause—it covers everything I wish I’d known about my changing body. This is the class that women deserve and the world needs.”
The course features expertise from Dr. Jen Gunter, OB-GYN and author of The Menopause Manifesto; psychiatrist Dr. Judith Joseph; neuroscientist Dr. Emily Jacobs; and clinician-scientist Dr. Lori Brotto. The program covers hormone impacts, symptom management, healthcare advocacy, and intimate relationships during menopause.
Berry, founder of women’s longevity community Respin, brings her personal experience to the course. Beyond her entertainment career, she has advocated for improved menopause care through legislation like the Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act, which proposes $275 million in funding for healthcare, education, and awareness.
