Tony Award-winning actress and comedian Laura Benanti is speaking candidly about perimenopause—and partnering with Flo Health to help millions of women feel less alone in the experience.

“I was really blindsided by what was happening to me when I started experiencing perimenopause,” Benanti shared. Her openness in discussing symptoms—from the brutal physical changes to the emotional confusion—mirrors what many women experience privately. The partnership supports the launch of Flo for Perimenopause, a comprehensive new feature addressing this underserved life stage.

Benanti addresses her perimenopause journey in her solo show “Laura Benanti: Nobody Cares,” bringing humor and honesty to a topic often treated as taboo. Her partnership with the femtech company extends that conversation to the over 420 million people using the platform worldwide.

The new perimenopause features include personalized guidance, symptom tracking, and access to Secret Chats where women can connect anonymously with others experiencing similar changes. The feature’s Perimenopause Score helps women understand and contextualize symptoms that might otherwise feel isolating or confusing.

This celebrity partnership reflects broader strategy. Having built infrastructure for clinical-grade features, the company is using high-profile advocates to destigmatize conversations about women’s health. When 54% of women feel inadequately informed about perimenopause, visibility matters as much as technology.
