WHY MAPLE MENOPAUSE EXISTS
Canadian menopause information, without the noise
Clear evidence, Canadian context, and practical next steps—so you can spend less time searching and more time asking better questions.
I built the resource I needed
Maple Menopause began because my own symptoms did not arrive with a neat label. Well-meaning healthcare professionals investigated individual pieces, but the larger pattern was missed. I went down testing dead ends before perimenopause was considered.
I work in a healthcare setting, but I am not a medical professional. I still had to search widely, compare credible sources, advocate for myself, and learn which questions changed the conversation. No woman should need a second job as a researcher simply to understand what may be happening to her body.
Menopause is universal. Healthcare is not.
Medications, coverage, referrals, wait times, and virtual-care options differ across countries—and across Canadian provinces. Maple Menopause puts Canadian realities beside the science.
What you will find
- Canadian guidelines, official resources, and relevant peer-reviewed research.
- Plain-language explanations of symptoms, MHT, access, and coverage.
- Trackers and appointment tools that help you prepare for care.
What you will not find
No bullshit. No fluff. No dubious claims.
No miracle cures, fear-based marketing, or opinion dressed up as science. When evidence is limited or mixed, the site should say so.
Education—not medical advice
Maple Menopause is an independent educational resource. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Use it to understand terminology, organize your experience, and prepare questions for a qualified healthcare professional. New, severe, sudden, or concerning symptoms require appropriate medical assessment.
Start with what you need
You deserve a healthcare conversation that considers the whole pattern—not one symptom at a time.
Maple Menopause is independently researched and free to read. If it has helped you, supporting the project is always optional and never influences editorial decisions.
