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. If men “had a medical condition that disrupted their sleep, brain function and sex life,” the actor said, “we’d be calling that a health crisis on par with Covid, and the whole world would shut down.”
