Queen Latifah Joins Forces with WeightWatchers to Champion Menopause Wellness
When Hollywood powerhouse Queen Latifah speaks, people listen. That is why her new role as the inaugural spokeswoman for “WeightWatchers for Menopause” feels like such a natural and important fit.
Latifah has been candid about her own journey through perimenopause, admitting that even she was surprised by how subtle (and sometimes confusing) the changes could be.
Hot flashes, disrupted sleep, shifting moods and stubborn weight gain are not always easy to name, let alone manage. By sharing her experience, she is helping to shatter the silence and stigma that too often surround this life stage.
“Menopause has been a new journey for me.” explained Latifah “One that is changed how I see and care for my body. It has shown me how important it is for women to have support that truly understands this stage of life. That is why I’m proud to be the spokesperson for WeightWatchers’ new programme.”
So What Is It All About?
WeightWatchers’ new programme is designed specifically for women in perimenopause through post-menopause. It blends medical support, nutrition guidance and community connection, acknowledging that hormonal changes call for more than a “one-size-fits-all” weight-loss plan.
From access to menopause-trained clinicians and tailored meal plans to strength-focused fitness and group workshops, it is a holistic approach that speaks to both body and mind.
Queen Latifah’s involvement signals something bigger than a celebrity endorsement. She brings authenticity, credibility and the lived understanding that thriving during menopause is not about chasing a number on the scale, it is about empowerment, self-care and science-backed support.
