Halle Berry discusses her experiences with perimenopause and advocates for better support for women in midlife.
Halle Berry, the actor and founder of Respin, which offers menopause symptom care programs, shares a talk on aging in Hollywood and her struggle with perimenopause. Ms. Berry encourages more dialogue and support for women in midlife.
