What the hell is a menopause retreat? It’s the question that writer Christine Yu set out to answer at the onset of her reporting for her latest Outside feature story. Yu, a New York City-based journalist, has spent her career investigating the intersections of sports science and women athletes.
Entering her late forties, Yu also began to consume more research and information about menopause. She initially rolled her eyes at the concept of a getaway for women approaching or going through menopause.
Like many, Yu has watched the travel industry launch seemingly countless numbers of trips around wellness and longevity, most of them structured around spa days or yoga. What could a week spent in the tropics with other middle-aged women teach her? It turns out, a lot.
Yu explores the benefits of Milyfe Retreats, a Denver, Colorado-based women’s health company that educates its customers and tries to bust the stigmas and common misconceptions about menopause.
