Welcome to Medium, Menopause Matters!

Check out independent health journalist Liz Seegert's new publication focusing on a key time of transition for women — before, during, and after menopause.

Here's how she describes it: "We’ll bring you solid, evidence-based information, backed by science. We’ll demystify the process, the symptoms, and the treatments — from brain fog to disappearing libido to hormone replacement therapy. We’ll cover the biological, mental, and emotional changes that so many women experience as they transition out of their reproductive years, from navigating stubborn weight gain to navigating hot flashes at work."

Follow the publication here:

Science-based information and plain talk to help women take charge of their bodies, dispel myths, make more informed decisions and embrace this phase of life. Ideas, resources and personal stories to help you stay informed and stay positive.

"Here’s the main message: writing fewer stories with more heart and soul poured into them will perform significantly better than the strategy that tends to work on more attention-grabbing platforms (writing lots of stories that are cranked out based on formulas). Great writing is meant to do a lot more than merely grab attention."

Big changes to the Medium Partner Program, starting August 1.

Changes are coming in August to the way we pay writers for great stories and which countries we support.

Today on Medium: "Thank You to America’s Librarians for Protecting Our Freedom to Read", from former U.S. president Barack Obama.

"Books have always shaped how I experience the world. Writers like Mark Twain and Toni Morrison, Walt Whitman and James Baldwin taught me something essential about our country’s character. Reading about people whose lives were very different from mine showed me how to step into someone else’s shoes. And the simple act of writing helped me develop my own identity — all of which would prove vital as a citizen, as a community organizer, and as president."

I wrote a letter thanking librarians across the country for everything they’re doing to protect our freedom to read.
