Halle Berry Shares Six Things She Wants You to Know About Menopause
From the importance of finding your village to the power of owning your sexuality (and she can help with that).
Oprah Daily interviews Halle Berry on the Respin x Joylux partnership:
Dry vaginas are on our minds this week... For Oscar-winning actress and activist Halle Berry, the issue caused extreme pain during sex, and her gynecologist diagnosed her with herpes. The tests came back negative. The real diagnosis? You guessed it—menopause.
That misdiagnosis (and another—one doctor thought Berry had Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease) sent Berry down a rabbit hole of research that culminated in the launch of Respin, a platform for menopause support and midlife wellness. Since gaining control over her menopause journey, Berry has been hyper-focused on helping others. That’s why Respin has partnered with Joylux, an intimate wellness brand, to create two products: a new version of their vFit device, a red-light therapy wand that stimulates lubrication and sensation, and an intimacy gel infused with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. Now, Berry says she’s “juicy like a peach,” as she recently told Gayle King on CBS Mornings. Here are Berry’s thoughts on aging with optimism and how we can all stay juicy, too.
