Menopause is often misunderstood, framed as an ending rather than an evolution. But what if we embraced it as a powerful transition—a time for renewal, self-discovery, and strength? This talk challenges outdated narratives and invites women to see menopause in a new light: as a phase of transformation rather than decline. We'll explore the emotional and mental struggles that often accompany this stage, share resources for support, and most importantly, reframe menopause with self-love and compassion. Join us as we celebrate this journey—not as something to endure, but as an opportunity to reclaim confidence, joy, and power. Dr. Yusianmar graduated from the School of Medicine at the Central University of Venezuela in 2004. Early in her career, she undertook six months of vocational training in rural Amazonia, delivering primary healthcare and health education to Indigenous populations in remote jungle communities. She later moved to Portugal, where she completed her training in Family Medicine and earned a postgraduate qualification in Sports Medicine at the University of Porto. Passionate about community-focused healthcare, she contributed to improving access to women's health and family planning services within her local community, at a primary care center in Portugal helping to shape a more responsive and inclusive approach to care for women in the region. In 2015, Dr. Yusianmar relocated to the UK with her family and has since been working as a General Practitioner across London and Surrey. Her commitment to global health took her to The Gambia in 2017, where she delivered educational talks on women’s health to local communities and nursing staff in regional hospitals. With a deep-rooted interest in women’s health, preventative medicine, nutrition, family planning, and addictions, she completed an MSc in Women’s Health at University College London (UCL). She is widely recognized as an expert in menopause and women’s health issues and has been invited to speak at several international conferences and forums. Dr. Yusianmar is a tireless advocate for women’s rights in medicine. She served as a member of the Family Violence Group of European GPs and is the co-founder of the Equally Different Group within the European Young Family Doctors Movement (EYFDM), part of the global network of family physicians. She currently serves as the European Lead of the Women Working Party on Women in Family Medicine. Fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, Dr. Yusianmar brings a rich multicultural perspective to her clinical and advocacy work. Outside of medicine, she enjoys dancing, photography, art, and spending time with her family.
