Accredited Menopause Experts? Licensed Menopause Champions? Menopause Coaches?

As my mother said “Oh, give me a break”.

My sentiments exactly.

Not including NAMS, which requires you to be a licensed medical professional, these other professional Menopause labels seem to be coming from the UK and Canada, and they are selling these “accredited” or “licensing” courses in the USA online to non-medical professionals. Some places do not state where they are located, where they got their accreditation, or have any physical address or phone number. They will take your credit card number though.

Show me the scam.

These companies charge a lot of money to take these menopause “accreditation” and “licensing” courses and it does not stand in the USA or in the UK apparently. I have just spent two days trying to find out if these accreditations and licenses are real to no avail. I have even reached out to the UK governing body and am awaiting their response.
