Oprah’s Menopause Revolution Special
For decades Oprah Winfrey has tackled the subjects most people whisper about, and now she turns her signature spotlight on the life stage every woman will face: menopause. In An Oprah Winfrey Special: The Menopause Revolution, Oprah shares her own harrowing symptoms—racing heart, sleepless nights—and sits down with Maria Shriver, medical thought-leaders, and Hollywood icons Halle Berry and Naomi Watts to ask why so many of us still enter this transition uninformed. Their frank stories expose the surprising ways hormonal shifts can affect the brain, heart, mood, and more, while celebrating the liberation that can come when women finally get the facts and the care they deserve.
Airing first on ABC and now streaming on Hulu, the hour-long special pairs candid celebrity testimony with clear, science-backed guidance from top menopause clinicians. Viewers will learn how to recognize perimenopausal warning signs, what treatment options—including hormone therapy—really look like today, and how to advocate for themselves when doctors overlook the connection between symptoms and hormones. Whether you’re decades away, in the thick of hot flashes, or supporting someone who is, Oprah’s latest conversation sparks the revolution we need: replacing stigma and silence with knowledge, solidarity, and actionable hope.
