At OlderMe, we don’t just love science; we’re practically flirting with it. Why? Because when it comes to the rollercoaster of midlife health—spanning both menopause and andropause—it seems like science has been playing hard to get.
For decades, the enigmas of menopause and the less-talked-about andropause have been as obscured as the dark side of the moon. It’s as if researchers decided anyone over 50 was like Neptune (especially women!)—interesting but too far away to warrant a closer look. Well, not on our watch! We’re here to shine a disco ball on this party and get the facts dancing.
Why the Scarcity?
You might wonder why there’s such a dearth of info on these pivotal life transitions. Could it be a vast conspiracy? A misplaced medical manuscript? More likely, it’s the age-old oversight where the health issues of middle-aged men and women just don’t seem to get the VIP pass into the labs.

Science to the Rescue (Finally)
But fear not! OlderMe is here to bridge that lunar-like leap with a cocktail of cheeky commentary and links to cutting-edge research. We’re diving into the scientific abyss and serving up pearls of wisdom on everything from hot flashes that could power small cities to mood swings that make the stock market look stable, and not forgetting the mysterious male menopause—or 'manopause'—that turns the heat up on gentlemen just as they were planning to cool down.
